Big Sandy Band withdraws plans for slot machines
The Big Sandy Band of Western Mono Indians has dropped plans to add more slot machines to its casino in northern California. The tribe was awarded 1,650 licenses -- the most of any tribe -- on October 5 by the California Gambling Control Commission. But the tribe withdrew its application a week later, The Fresno Bee reported. The tribe operates the Mono Wind Casino with 350 slot machines. The 1,650 machines would have put the tribe at the 2,000 limit authorized by the 1999 tribal-state gaming compact. The tribe's plans for a larger casino are being reviewed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Get the Story:
