First, Federal law does not really apply to Indian Reservations (they are by definition, separate nations).
Second, Indians do not enforce their moral laws on the conduct of another (that does not directly interfere with the rights of another, or cause harm) like American's do. Third, Casino's are good ways to make money and help the tribes.
