State, tribe OK pact to operate casino
By The Associated Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- Gov. Dave Freudenthal announced Wednesday that the state and the Eastern Shoshone Tribe have entered into a gaming compact that would allow the tribe to operate a casino on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
Slot machines, black jack, craps, roulette, wagering games and electronic versions of any game of chance are allowed under the compact.
The agreement grants the Shoshone the same authority over gaming on the reservation as the Northern Arapaho Tribe, which went through a lengthy legal fight with the state to gain the authority. |
