The Jamul Band of Kumeyaay Indians will open California's first Class II-only facility after running into opposition to a full-scale casino.
The tribe is building a casino on its 6-acre reservation and wants to negotiate a new compact. But local officials and residents oppose the plan, saying it will create traffic and harm the community.
So the tribe has decided to reduce the size of the casino to about 1,000 Class II machines. Plans for a hotel have been dropped.
