Navigating that complexity requires capabilities that outdated accounting systems can’t deliver.

Easily unify data across properties and core systems.

Implement ERP faster with an industry-tailored experience.

ERP built for casino operations — not adapted to them

Wipfli can help you modernize your financial processes with our tribal casino ERP support, delivered by an experienced team that has worked with approximately 20% of tribal casinos. Our delivery model is built around tribal gaming realities, with support that adjusts to meet your operating model and desired level of transformation.

Industry experience

Wipfli has a dedicated tribal ERP team with decades of industry experience and associates who have built their careers on serving tribes. We support over 120 tribal clients annually and serve as an auditor for the National Indian Gaming Association and an active member of NAFOA, OIGA, AIGA, CNIGA and TribalNet.

Tailored support

Our deep involvement in the tribal and gaming community helps ensure we stay closely aligned with industry trends and operational realities. Where most implementations start from a blank instance, we start from a well-developed tribal foundation — reducing time, lowering risk and delivering faster operational impact.

Comprehensive services

Unlike providers that focus solely on software implementation, our comprehensive services work to deeply understand your organization’s processes, guide your adoption with industry best practices and provide post go-live support for training and optimization.

RESEARCH REPORT
2026 Indian Gaming Cost of Doing Business Report
The tribal gaming industry is in a position of enviable strength. Despite cost pressures, properties generated healthy net profit margins in 2025, ranging between 24% and 50%. Robust top-line performance was buoyed by strong customer demand and continued property reinvestment. However, lingering cost pressures and inflation prevented top-line revenue growth from fully flowing to the bottom line. The 2026 Indian Gaming Cost of Doing Business Report reveals how tribal casinos earned revenue and managed expenses over the past year. This year, 113 Native American organizations in 18 states contributed their financial data to help us capture an in-depth look at the industry’s financial health and cost dynamics. Now in its 28th year, the Cost of Doing Business Report is the only publication of its kind in the tribal gaming industry. Because of its robust datasets, casino leaders and tribal operators rely on it to benchmark their performance against peers nationwide, by region, size and property location. The 2026 report provides detailed operating statistics across revenue streams and expense categories, including slot and table efficiency, labor costs, food and beverage margins and marketing. It also features perspectives from the gaming, finance and technology specialists at Wipfli.
