BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The Ninth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against an attempt by Idaho to restrict the casinos run by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
The court ruled today that the state can't limit the number of video gambling machines operated by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. Nor can state officials force the tribes to renegotiate their compact with the state.
The state and the Idaho State Lottery wanted to force the tribe to renegotiate a gaming compact signed in 2000 by then-Governor Dirk Kempthorne in order to install video gambling machines. The court found that the Shoshone-Bannocks automatically got the right to the machines when three other Idaho tribes were allowed to install similar devices.
