In many cases, tribal members may receive financial benefits from their tribe's casino earnings, but this varies widely among different tribes. Some tribes distribute a portion of their casino revenues to members in the form of per capita payments, while others may invest profits into community services, infrastructure, or social programs instead. The specific arrangements depend on each tribe's governance and financial decisions. Additionally, not all tribes operate casinos, so benefits can differ significantly.
Tribes don't just "get" Gov't money. Depending on tribal revenue and population some tribes get "Per-Capita" payments. For example: The Shakopee Sioux in Eastern Minnesota receives a reported $1,000,000 a year in Per-Capita payments due to a strategically located casino near Minneapolis and only 800 members in their tribe. My poor tribe, has a hole in the wall casino in the middle of nowhere and nearly 8,000 members. We'll be lucky to get $75 in the form of a Kmart gift card. Most tribes have to work for their money just like everybody else. ;-)
Choctaw tribal members do not receive monthly or yearly percap monies from the tribe. The tribe does use tribal money to assist their members with emergency utilities, medical, programs for first time home buyers, scholarships for college, assistance for seniors, veteran programs, Head start programs and many other programs. Choctaw tribal members do not have to live in Oklahoma to receive most of these services and benefits. Many Choctaw tribe members recently just received money from the Cobell settlement. The US Government paid pennies on the dollar for taking money belonging to tribe members and not accounting for it's disappearance.
Generally, filing a lawsuit against a casino is no different than filing against any other entity. It becomes tricky when the casino is on tribal lands. At that point, United States federal and state laws no longer apply. Each tribal casino will have their own procedures for filing a lawsuit, and should be contacted individually.
Contact your tribal services office, get on the roles (become a registered tribal member) and IF your tribe has profit sharing from casino's and such; collect your check. Please note that very few tribes have this type of thing.

That depends on where the Seminole Indians live and what tribe they are affiliated with. The Seminole tribe in Florida brings in a lot of money, and tribe members get about $7,000 a month. Other tribes have different financial circumstances.
Yes, it is possible to sue an Indian casino for personal injury, but the process can be complex due to the legal concept of tribal sovereignty. Indian casinos are typically located on tribal lands, which are governed by tribal laws and regulations. Before filing a lawsuit, it is important to understand the specific laws that apply to the particular tribe and casino in question. Additionally, consulting with an attorney experienced in tribal law is highly recommended to navigate the unique legal considerations involved in suing an Indian casino for personal injury.

Yes, tribal security is on sovereign land and go by their own set of rules. If casino policy states they can search bags found on the casino floor than they are allowed to search them. I've been involved in multiple incidents where drugs were found in bags and law enforcement was called.
