Laz, and then there is this. - Holly Indian casinos and the big guys' piece of the action sfgate.com In the ballot argument supporting the 1998 initiative to expand American Indian gambling operations in California, the tribes argued that "big Nevada casinos are trying to shut down Indian gaming in California because they want to kill competition from California's Indians." In fact, as soon as the tribes got the state to broaden their gambling activities from card games to slots, they turned around and hired Nevada gambling companies as their partners. Now, companies like Harrah's Entertainment and Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts are running American Indian casinos in California. Caesars Entertainment also has plans to build casinos on behalf of tribes in the state. "It's clear that tribal gaming is here to stay," Wallace R. Barr, president and CEO of Caesars, told BusinessWeek Online. "If I'm going to lose revenue to California, I might as well go and get my share and bring it to Nevada."
