What Colville Tribal Gaming Commission does

The Colville Tribal Gaming Commission (CTGC) is a tribal governmental regulatory body established under Chapter 6-5 of the Colville Tribal Law and Order Code and operating within the federal framework of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA, October 1988). It is the sole authorized regulator of all gaming activities on Colville Indian lands, with its mandate focused on protecting tribal sovereignty, tribal and casino assets, the integrity of casino games, and the health and safety of casino employees and guests. The Commission's principal regulated entity is Colville Gaming LLC.

CTGC is organized into six operational units — the Commission itself, Administration, Tribal Gaming Agents, Electronic Gaming Systems, Internal Audit, and Licensing — staffed by approximately 35 employees and 5 Commission Members. The Commission's core functions include licensing of gaming-related personnel and vendors, onsite regulation of casino floor activity, internal audit, and oversight of electronic gaming systems. Its operating headquarters are at 729 Jackson Street, Omak, Washington 98841.

As a public-sector tribal entity, CTGC does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Its funding model is described as licensing-fee based, with specific fee structures not publicly disclosed. It coordinates regulatory activities with the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) at the federal level, the Washington State Gambling Commission (WSGC) at the state level, and the National Tribal Gaming Commissioners/Regulators (NTGCR) and Washington Indian Gaming Association (WIGA) at the industry-association level. The Commission is governed by Chair Chad Marchand and four additional Commission Members.
