Appeals court upholds Santee casino games
THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2003 The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld the legality of casino games offered by the Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska. A unanimous decision said the games fall in the Class II category and are thus legal in Nebraska without a gaming compact. The ruling relieves the tribe of fines from the National Indian Gaming Commission but also a contempt citation of the tribal council. The tribe operates a tiny casino on its reservation.
