California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) announced the signing of gaming compacts with two of the state's largest tribes.
Under the compact, the Yurok Tribe will open a casino with 350 slot machines. Even though this is just 1 machine over the level that would have qualified the tribe as "non-gaming" under the prior tribal-state compact, the tribe will share up to 25 percent of revenues from the machines.
The Quechan Nation signed an amended compact for a casino with up to 1,100 slot machines. The tribe will also share up to 25 percent of revenues with the state.
