"The Indian casinos have limited gambling appeal to tourists, and for that matter many citizens. They do not have table games other than blackjack. Our government can renegotiate the compacts so that the casinos gain additional appeal and revenue, and the state gets a fair financial return. Making the Indian casinos more attractive to in-state and out-of-state gamblers negates the importance of an operation such as the proposed Ceasars. The Indian casinos eventually could provide a similar return to the state. This return could be put to use for tourism, education, stadiums, etc."
