They DFO produce! fish, the casinos I mean. They send millions a month into the states greedy little hands. And they provide hundreds of jobs, which pay salaries and improve the economy of the town. Not to mention the tax dollars the town gets from folks coming to the casinos.

Casinos are for suckers. Indian casinos are for those people that are too stupid to be suckers. They make up their own rules, and they change them whenever they want. There have been instances of jackpot “winners” being denied their winnings. The only recourse is to appeal to the tribal commission.
In California, the tribal casinos are self regulated. They make billions a year, and, mostly, they pay no taxes. They run TV ads about how wonderful the the tribes and their gambling are.
They spread more money around the state Capitol than anybody. The tribes alone determine who's a member, and, some tribes have mass expulsions, with no appeals, of any members that the leaders think might challenge their authority. Some tribal members get more than $40,000 per month, tax free, without lifting a finger. That kind of money corrupts the soul. If I want to gamble, I'd rather play in a mob joint. The Mafia runs a much cleaner game.
