Where do you get that from? Is there a federal law that prevents card rooms from opening? No. There isn't.

And there are far more non-Indian card rooms than reservation gambling establishments, and since most reservations are about fifty miles from nowhere, why would this help Indian gaming? In Los Angeles, for example, there's four major card rooms, yet this is supposedly some victory for reservation casinos a hundred miles away?

Been seeing this pat response too often.
