Introduction to the Winter 2026 Issue

As we wrap up 2025 and step into a new year, this issue of TG&H focuses on the conversations and strategies that matter most for tribal operators right now — from operational resilience, to smarter reinvestment, to strengthening the teams who keep our properties running every day.

This edition brings together new perspectives from leaders across Indian Country, as well as practical, on-the-ground insights you can put to work immediately as you plan for 2026.

Before we get too far into the new year, I want to remind everyone about our annual event:

Raving NEXT: Casino Strategy & Operations Summit — taking place February 3rd and 4th, 2026.

This is our flagship strategy workshop — two days of straight talk, case studies, and practical solutions from tribal operators, marketers, analysts, CFOs, and leaders who are in the trenches doing the work.

It’s entirely virtual, which means your whole team can join without travel, and every year it’s one of the most valuable gatherings we host for tribal gaming professionals.

You can learn more and register at ravingnext.com.

As always, we want this magazine to reflect the needs and experiences of our readers.

If you have an article suggestion, a story from your property, or a team member you’d like to highlight in 2026, we welcome it.

Just reach out to our editor, Chris — her email is chris@tgandh.com.

On behalf of the editorial board, the team at Raving, and TG&H, thank you to our subscribers, our partners, and our advertisers for your continued support.

Tsu tse wass, and so long for now.
