Here's an interesting statement in a recent column about tribal authority over gaming.  In response to a reader's question about how the age limits are set for casinos, the columnist included this comment:

"With Indian gaming, tribes are free to set their own legal limits. For example, in California, the legal age to gamble is 18. However, most Indian casinos serve alcohol and have arbitrarily set the minimum age at 21 to comply with what's required for their alcohol license."
