Tuesday, April 10, 2012  

The Karuk Tribe of California is getting into the Indian gaming industry.

The tribe announced approval from the National Indian Gaming Commission to open a casino. Now comes the hard part, Chairman Russell Attebery said.

“With this comes a lot of additional work for our tribal council, staff and membership, but the first step has successfully been accomplished," Attebery said in a press release.

Council member Dora Bernal, whose primary focus is gaming, also welcomed the decision.
