Why are Indian Casino allowed to operate in California, but do not follow state employment laws?

They must follow federal laws which are more lenient. Working conditions and overtime hours are the most obvious differences which affect California workers' health and compensation.

In reality its the same reason, since an Indian reservation is consider its own Entity in a sense, not bound by the laws of ca, they can have a Casino without ca permission as well as not bound by state labor laws

Recognized Indian tribes are treated as separate nations.

Because Indian tribes are sovereign nations in their own rights, that make treaties with the Federal government.

Many of the tribal agreements however that regulate tribal gaming do indeed require the tribe to follow State labor laws - it all depends on what deal the State negotiates with the tribe.

They are federally recognized nations on federal land. But they do have to have certain agreements in place with the states in which they exist. See class III gaming in the 1st source link.

That is why we keep having these ballot initiatives in CA about how they will share revenue with the state.

As for the labor practices, they are probably coverd by federal laws only.

Indian reservations are not state land they are federal land and do not follow the laws of the state that is why. I would hate to have to follow the laws of Cali if I owned a business there that is why they are moving out of state.

Must be in the treaty that allowed them the casinos. I haven't checked.
