They don't have to wait for legalization--they can start the process now. However, there is a high hurdle for a tribe to get land into trust (which would enable them to conduct casino gambling). The process usually takes 5-10 years.

I believe only 2 tribes have tried, and it was only recently that they were finally allowed to. The Tigua tribe in El Paso finally prevailed in federal court against the state. If there are any tribes that had any ideas of having casino gambling, that case should clear the way for them.
