Leaders of the Umatilla Tribes of Oregon voted unanimously to approve the sale of liquor at the Wildhorse Resort and Casino.
Tribal leaders acted in response to increased competition. Non-Indian bars and taverns are now offering video poker.
Liquor sales won't start at the casino until early 2006, a tribal spokesperson said. The rest of the reservation will remain dry.
