It seems a lot of lobbyists rip off a lot of tribes to finance junkets for Congresscritters.

Can you add to this impression or correct it?

Do any of the tribes ever get anything back except going to bed with casino Mafia?

I'd like to move past mere impressions to some solid information if you have some.

Generally it's a dance.....

IMO, in the beginning the pol's had the advantage...cause they are already know "the game". In the end..everyone's playing "the game".

IMO, some tribes have been very shrewd and professional in their gaming/smoke shop deals. Other's have been sold down the river by their own. And then other's have so much infighting...they are spinning their wheels. So...I'd say it's a mixed bag.

IMO, many gaming interests will go under....and/or join other tribes in gaming alliances...The tribes that survive will be those that realized from the get-go that the gaming/smoke shop money will dry up some day...and started to diversify.

FWIW-
