Mescalero Apache Nation opens gaming facility inside ski lodge

Thursday, October 28, 2010  

The Mescalero Apache Nation of New Mexico is opening a gaming facility at its ski resort.

The lodge at Ski Apache will offer slot machines. "So, you can come up and ski and play some slot machines, maybe win a little bit of money while you ski. That's the new addition we have this year," director of operations Justin Rowland told The Ruidoso News

Most tribes in the state signed a compact that limits them to two gaming facilities. The Mescalero Apache Nation's compact doesn't contain the provision.
