Hurricane Rita has forced the closure of the Coushatta Tribe's casino in Louisiana, the Associated Press reports.
The AP said a recorded telephone message at the Coushatta Casino Resort said the casino would be closed until further notice. All six of the state's other casinos have been closed as well.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the Coushatta casino was helping victims of Hurricane Katrina. The tribe donated food, water and supplies to local shelters and donated some casino proceeds to the relief effort.
