The Koi Nation claims that its proposed casino is essential for its financial survival under federal law regarding 'restored lands,' highlighting the tribe's precarious economic situation.
Opponents, including California's Governor Gavin Newsom, argue that the casino violates federal gaming laws and the tribe's activities fall outside of its traditional territory.
California's tribal gaming market remains vibrant but competitive, with $8 billion in annual revenue generated by 87 casinos, significantly influenced by the dynamics of federally recognized tribes.
Tribal opposition continues to hinder attempts to legalize online gambling in California, reflecting the tension among tribes and state interests regarding the future of gaming.
