They have to operate under the same rules as the other casinos in the Province, including having a certain percentage of the gaming revenue go to charity. The difference is that the Reserve itself is set up as the charity that receives that revenue from the Reserve casinos. That revenue is regulated and must be spent on things that will lead to the betterment of the Reserve, things like infrastructure, skills training, and cultural events.

Here is the Alberta information: http://www.aglc.gov.ab.ca/gaming/FirstNationsPolicy.asp
