  • Final 2006 OTGA AJ
    The Contributions of Indian Gaming to Oregon’s Economy in 2006 A Market and Economic Impact Analysis for the Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance June 30, 2008 ECONOMICS • FINANCE • PLANNING 888 SW Fifth Avenue Suite 1460 Portland, Oregon 97204 503-222-6060 www.econw.com Section I Executive Summary Assignment The Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance (“OTGA”) is a coalition of nine Indian tribes in Oregon. Each owns and operates a casino in the state. The OTGA retained ECONorthwest to conduct a market and economic impact analysis of the tribal casino gaming industry in Oregon for the year 2006. This is the fourth year such an analysis has been done. The data presented in this report come from various sources, but primarily from OTGA member tribes. They provided audited operating data on their casinos and related activities such as hotels and restaurants. The tribes also prepared lists of charities and donations made by OTGA members through their charitable foundations and businesses. Riley Research Associates provided the results of a survey for this analysis. Statistics from state and federal government sources, such as the Oregon Lottery and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, were also used to produce this report. This report replicates past work where the size and impact of tribal gaming in Oregon had been measured. Three additional research elements are included in this analysis. Overall, the following key topics are examined in this report: • Economic impacts of tribal gaming: What was the total economic impact of tribal gaming on the Oregon economy in 2006 and how does it compare with previous years? • The size of the gaming market in Oregon: How much gambling was conducted in Oregon in 2006 and how much money did Oregonians spend? What share of the total gaming in Oregon was attributable to the nine tribes and the Oregon Lottery? How has the market changed over the past decade? • Charitable contributions by tribes: All nine tribes make donations to area charities and most have established charitable community foundations financed by casino gaming revenues.

  • The Manitoba Legislative Assembly
    The Manitoba Legislative Assembly Emily Katherine Grafton Manitoba exhibits both classical characteristics of Canadian political life and unique developments that are strikingly Manitoban. Accordingly, the development of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly has reflected the range of divisions within Canadian political society, including east/west tensions, Francophone/Anglophone relations, struggles between Aboriginal lifestyles and European colonialism, urban/rural divisions and of course the continuing legacy of immigration – multiculturalism. While exhibiting these traditional Canadian elements of nation building, Manitoba has also developed a distinct identity. The Métis and First Nation heritages, 2011 CanLIIDocs 302 the timing and settlement patterns of immigration waves, the small provincial population, the province’s have-not status and its difficult climate all contribute to the political environment. As the province’s principal representative institution, the Manitoba Legislative Assembly is unique and reflects both the distinctive social and political context of Prairie politics and the complexities of the modern Western world. hen one looks over the history of Manitoba’s some Manitobans, Riel is still a champion of the first Legislative Assembly, three distinct phases of government chosen by the local people and this status Wdevelopment emerge: the province-building has been recognized by the erection of a statue of him phase, 1870 to 1921; the non-partisan coalition phase, on the grounds of the Legislative Assembly in 1970 1921 to 1969; and the modern era, 1969 to the present. and by the establishment of a provincial holiday in his honour, Louis Riel Day, in 2007.

Is it the ease of access to information or the presence of entertainment options such as online games and streaming services? Everything is happening online, from shopping, learning to payment of taxes. It’s no surprise that most of the physical facilities providing various services over the years are closing down. Some are shifting to meet the rapidly rising demand in the online segment. But why is the focus on online casino gambling becoming a trend? Many innovations are taking place, leading to shifts in various industries. We linked up with our expert Alexandra Nereng who helped us answer some of the burning questions that many people have today. Are online casinos beneficial in any way?

A wide selection of games Have you ever asked yourself what it takes to offer all the games you dream about in a land-based casino? You will require thousands of acres of land and thousands of machines.
