On a regional level, the tribal gaming industry is broken into seven regions. In 2011, the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Regions produced the highest annual growth rates at 7.6% and 6.8%, respectively. However, the positive growth in both the Sacramento and Phoenix Regions was the industry’s most significant indicator of improvement. Since the recession began in 2007, neither region experienced growth. The positive growth seen across all seven regions indicates that the entire industry is beginning to recover from the recession.

The region to produce the most consistent growth has been the Portland Region. Since 2007, the Portland Region has grown at a compounded annual rate of 5.1%, with a range of 4.1% (2011) to 6.1% (2009). The Portland Region’s consistent growth rate is attributed to the region operating free of commercial casinos, steady reinvestment into the industry, and the region experiencing minimal declines in consumer spending during the economic recession. The region with the most inconsistent growth has been the Tulsa Region. Since 2007 the Tulsa Region has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 7.1%, with a range of 0.9% (2008) to 18.2% (2007). The Tulsa Region’s wide range in growth rates is attributed to the slowdown in casino expansions and maturation of the Oklahoma market.
