In July 2005, Northern Arapahos won a contentious court battle with the State of Wyoming to get into the [[gambling]] or casino industry. The 10th Circuit Court ruled that the State of Wyoming was acting in bad faith when it would not negotiate with the Arapahos for gaming. The Northern Arapaho Tribe opened the first casinos in Wyoming. Presently, the Arapaho Tribe owns and operates high-stakes, Class III gaming at the Wind River Casino, the Little Wind Casino, and the 789 Smoke Shop and Casino. In 2012, The Wind River Hotel, which is attached to the Wind River Casino, features a cultural room called the Northern Arapaho Experience.<ref>{{cite web|title=Wind River Hotel's Grand Opening called "Historic Day" for Northern Arapaho; More to come|url=http://county10.com/2012/03/10/wind-river-hotels-grand-opening-called-historic-day-for-northern-arapaho-more-to-come/|website=County10.com|access-date=24 June 2015|url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626124258/http://county10.com/2012/03/10/wind-river-hotels-grand-opening-called-historic-day-for-northern-arapaho-more-to-come/|archive-date=June 26, 2015|df=mdy-all}}</ref> They are regulated by a Gaming Commission composed of three tribal members.
