You wouldn't be talking about the Indian tribes would you? I'm sure you are. Don't be so coy.

Governor Wilson tried to keep the tribes in check fearing the political machine they would become, but Davis let them loose with Las Vegas style gaming and the money has come pouring in, and so has their political clout. Some estimates put the Indian gaming money at $5 billion, and not a dime to the state.

Other states get something. Why shouldn't California?

I also understand that Indian gaming does not have to abide by the strict laws as Nevada casinos. The real losers are the "mom & pop" gamblers who get ripped off. I've already told you more than I know - but another FR poster was giving some facts on one of these threads, right now can't remember who exactly....

Cheers, CC :)
