A new Lumbee Tribe website explains a proposed gaming and economic development amendment ahead of a June 23 special election.
The tribe argued that several parts of the agreement violate the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, or IGRA, because they regulate issues that do not directly relate to the operation of Class III gaming. That category includes slot machines and casino-style table games offered at tribal casinos. Morongo's complaint laid out 17 separate claims, each focused on a specific provision in the compact.
