Washington tribes oppose Class II regulations
Thursday, November 1, 2007

Washington tribes will be hurt by the National Indian Gaming Commission's new Class II regulations, a tribal leader said.

Tribes in the state are limited to a certain number of Class III machines under their compacts. So they offer Class II games to their customers.

“The market will diminish dramatically,” Ron Allen, who also serves as chairman of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, told The Bellingham Herald. “We would have a very difficult time with these proposals."
