Cachil Dehe Band sues California over machines

Friday, June 8, 2007  

The Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians has sued the California Gambling Control Commission over the number of electronic gaming machines allowed at the Colusa Casino Resort.

The tribal-state compact limits the casino to 2,000 Class III machines. The state counts multiscreen gaming terminals as multiple machines.

The tribe says the terminals, which are connected to a single device, should count as one machine. “It’s like 10 people betting on a horse race,” an attorney told The Marysville/Yuba City Appeal-Democrat. “You’ve got 10 people betting, but it’s only one race.”
