The funds made from the casinos helped Natives lose the title of second class citizen and bring much needed social equality between Indian and non-Indian peoples. Of those tribes who benefited the most from the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act were the Mescalero Apache Tribe who were amongst the first to construct casinos and profit from them immensely. Many tribes chose to participate in gaming because they had no other economic opportunities available to them, but a few chose not to. An example of those who chose not to benefit from the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act were the Navajo and Hopi

Native American tribes have had the right to self-rule since 1832 but it wasn’t until 1987 when casino gaming became legal without state interference on reservation land (Schaap 2010.)

Playing the game moved indoors to a wooden table with green cloth to simulate grass, and a simple border was placed around the edges. The balls were shoved, rather than struck, with wooden sticks called "maces." The term "billiard" is derived from the French language, either from the word "billiart", one of the wooden sticks, or "bille", a ball” (Pool Tables).
