Governor Signing Spokane Slot Machine Compact

Governor Chris Gregoire has announced that she is planning on signing the slot machine compact that the Spokane’s are trying to get passed. She said she does not know the intricacies of the compact yet, but from what she has seen, she does not believe that there is any reason not to sign it. The new compact would allow the tribe five new casinos and up to 4,700 slot machines at each of them.

State legislators are not happy about the statement, but Gregoire says she is just happy that they have finally come to the table. The Spokane’s first tried to sign a slot machine compact with the state 18 years ago, and now it looks as though one might actually be signed. They are the only tribe within the state that allows slot machine casino gambling without a compact.

The compact would give the tribe more slot machines than almost every other tribe in the state, and many think that by approving the compact they will open up a major gambling expansion in the state. The only tribe that has more slot machines than them is the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. They are currently allowed 4,800 slot machines at three casinos, but they have only used a maximum of 675.
