Tribal Gaming Agency

The Tribal Gaming Commission (TGC) of the Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria plays a crucial role in overseeing and regulating gaming operations within a tribe's jurisdiction. Its primary function is to ensure that gaming activities comply with tribal, federal, and sometimes state regulations while maintaining integrity, fairness, and accountability.

Ultimately, the TGC ensures that tribal gaming benefits the tribe while maintaining transparency, integrity, and responsible management.
