A Class III gaming compact for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians cleared an initial vote in the North Carolina House on Thursday.
The compact authorizes live card dealers to the Harrah’s
Cherokee Casino and Resort in exchange for a share of the revenues.
The deal lasts 30 years and is expected to generate $90 million for the state.
The Senate already approved the compact. Once it gets final approval in the state, it can be sent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for review.
