California is home to 109 federally-recognized tribes. Of these tribes, 63 own tribal casinos. The total number of tribal casinos in California is 86.

California's gaming tribes with large casinos have gaming compacts with the state that require them to pay into the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund (RSTF), which distributes annual payments to other California federally-recognized tribes that have no casinos or own very small ones.
