A gaming law professor says the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma aren't likely to succeed in their quest for a casino in Colorado.
"I'm not going to say it probably won't happen in Colorado," I. Nelson Rose of Whittier College told The Denver Post. "I'm saying it won't happen."
The Cheyenne-Arapahos have ancestral ties to Colorado. Rose said the tribes already settled their claims to the state.
At a Western Governors' Association conference in Colorado this past spring, Rose said off-reservation gaming is not a real threat. He said local opposition is almost always likely to derail "reservation shopping" bids.
