It looks like the Yurok Tribe of California will be getting into the Indian gaming business.
The results aren't certified but tribal members voted in favor of using $9.6 million to finance a casino.
Construction will likely start in late March, Chairman Thomas O'Rourke told The Eureka Times-Standard.
The $9.6 million is coming from the tribe's $27.5 million trust settlement.
The remainder will be distributed to members on a per capita basis.
