In just the past few years, Oklahoma's tribes have seen rapid growth of their gaming enterprises.
The Cherokee Nation went from 500 gaming employees about 2,800 in two years. The payroll has gone from $39.5 million to $69 million.
The Creek Nation has about 1,300 gaming employees. Like the Cherokees, the Creeks plan on opening more facilities in the Tulsa area.
