Alabama Gov. Bob Riley (R) says the Poarch Band of Creek Indians can't offer electronic Class II machines.
Riley started a task force that closed down all of the non-Indian gaming facilities in the state. Now he's going after the tribe. "The governor has instructed me to do something about the Indians if we can," Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson Jr., who leads the Governor's Task Force on Illegal Gambling, told The Mobile Press-Register. The National Indian Gaming Commission has categorized the tribe's machines as Class II. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, tribes have sole jurisdiction over Class II games on Indian lands.
