More Slot Machines for Casinos

California is known for their tribal casinos. When states consider adding in tribal casinos, they normally look to California to see how things have worked out for them. The addition of slot machines has definitely brought in more money for the state, but it can also be seen as a cautionary tale on what not to do in order to get that to happen.

Currently the state is looking to grant permission for more than 10,000 new slot machines to come into the state of California. Those tribal casinos that have less than 2000 slot machines will now have the opportunity to bring in more. The state gambling commission says that they are looking to that has been perpetrated against these smaller tribes for years.

The Sonoma County River Rock Casino is going to be able to bring in more slot machines which makes them very happy. The Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians’ casino currently offers around 1600 slot machines but they are not actually looking for any more to come in. Several tribes have been arguing for years that they were entitled to more slot machines under gambling compacts that had been signed back in 1999 with former Gov. Gray Davis.

The problem was that the tribes were allowed a maximum of 32,108 slot machines, but many of them did not get to bring in the slot machines that had been awarded them. Some of the larger tribes had that ability and they wanted it as well. They said that they should not have to renegotiate their compacts in order to get them.
