I have heard that Indian casinos are regulated differently than other casinos because they can claim sovereignty within their reservation and do not have to answer to a state gaming commission. And I have heard stories about them confiscating chips from card counters, leaving the card counter with no recourse or state authority to bring justice.

But I wonder if dealing with theft or credit risk from Indian casinos is really commonplace for card counters or if those stories were exaggerated or just really unusual situations.

Has anyone had much experience playing high stakes or being backed off by an Indian casino? Were you treated any differently there than a regular casino?

If there really is a significant risk of chip confiscation or refusal to cash out chips, then I suppose it would be unwise to play there. Are there other drawbacks or benefits to playing in Indian casinos?
