Jonodev Chaudhuri spent almost six years as chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC). During his term, he smoothed over disagreements between the commission and the gaming tribes by concentrating on training and better communications between the two sides. Since leaving the commission he has been named ambassador for the Muscogee Creek Nation, of which he is a member. During this interview he discusses issues such as tribal sovereignty, sports betting in Indian Country and the future of the NIGC in a new administration. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October.
