The Sandia Tribal Gaming Commission, as the tribal gaming regulatory agency, is responsible for regulating and monitoring all gaming activities occurring within the lands of the Pueblo of Sandia. The Commission, through its commissioners and staff, conducts oversight to ensure compliance with federal, tribal and state laws and regulations. The Commission is the licensing authority for individuals employed in the gaming operation and is responsible for administering the background investigations as part of the licensing process. The Commission has a role in monitoring compliance with the internal control standards for the gaming operation and in tracking revenues. The Commission has the duty of inspecting and monitoring, on a continuous basis, all aspects of the gaming operation. The Commissioners’ duties and authorities primarily focus on operational policy and rulemaking, regulatory interpretation, agency adjudications, and appeals to formal agency actions.
Our philosophy is built on the principles of integrity, fairness, collaboration, communication, and recognition for performance excellence. Meeting all performance standards leads to attracting and retaining a qualified workforce, provides opportunities for qualified team members, and contributes towards the ongoing success of the Pueblo of Sandia today and in the future.
