It's a very effective source of income in a place where there isn't a whole lot of outside revenue generated. Gambling also plays a role in many Native cultures, and did before Europeans ever came.
Lots of problems associated with the casinos as well, with addictions wreaking havoc with many people. This is just how it was explained to me the last time I went off about the Casino on the Kananaskis turnoff staining the landscape.
