The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) is celebrating 27 years of its existence. Since 1993, SIGA has gone a long way toward achieving its goals. The authority now employs around 2,000 citizens of Saskatchewan, with a large percentage made up of people of the First Nation. SIGA, as a non-profit organization, also gives 100% of its net income back to its communities, which helps meet the objective of supporting itself financially.SIGA runs a total of seven casinos across Saskatchewan: the Bear Claw Casino located North of Carlyle, the Dakota Dunes Casino in the South of Saskatoon, the Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford, the Gold Horse Casino in Lloydminster, the Living Sky Casino situated in Swift Current, the Northern Lights Casino in Prince Albert, and the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton.

The casinos reflect First Nation culture and hospitality, while also taking inspiration from Las Vegas casinos. Vegas is the inspiration for modern casinos around the world and Saskatchewan is no exception to this.
