The Kialegee
Tribal Town can't open a casino on an Indian allotment in Oklahoma, a federal judge ruled on Friday.
The tribe lacks jurisdiction over the allotment, Judge Gregory Frizzell ruled.
The land is owned by members of a different tribe, the Muscogee Nation.
The tribe has been building the Red Clay Casino on the allotment. The decision will be appealed, attorneys indicated.
