Washington State Indian Slots
Thanks for your replies.
Still waiting to hear imput regarding my theory of the tribes ability to manipulate the winning percentage. The unique nature of these slots certainly allow more opportunity.
As far as Wa. laws our state is run by apparently blind morons. Recently the Tribes were allowed to add additional machines and raise the betting limits. Our governor approved this based on the fact the Indians were generously donating 1 million dollars to problem gambling assistance. Talk about caving in, this amounts to the Indians parting with 7/1000ths of one percent of their income. When asked why the state doesn't demand a rake of the action (which would have created an audit also) she replied that we didn't want to become dependent on that revenue. LOL
As far as the tribes themselves the bias distribution of funds has become alarming. I assisted a friend in researching his tribes business methods and like most tribes a small group is hoarding, skimming or paying themselves tremendous sums of money while the majority only benefit from annual payments as low as 500.00 per year. One Indian make an humorus but accurate statement. "We need the government to step in and investigate the tribe for the sake of the Indians. All that would take is a act of congress. Not a saying it really does.
