"We have the same amount of players, although people seem to spending less everywhere lately, and we are certainly no exception," Mike Hiles, the tribal information officer for the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, told The Riverside Press-Enterprise. Tribes in southern and northern California have laid off casino workers due to the recession. Get the Story:
