Tribes at odds over legalizing Internet poker
Riverside County tribe proposes alliance with card clubs
A Riverside County tribe is pushing for a law that would allow gamblers in California to play poker over the Internet. But some San Diego County tribes oppose the move, saying it will be bad for their businesses.
The Morongo Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians, which owns Morongo Casino Resort and Spa in central Riverside County, is leading the effort, arguing that millions of gamblers already play online and that legalizing it would generate revenue for the cash-starved state.
A spokesman for the Morongo tribe said the proposal also would offer better consumer protections than the unregulated Web sites that exist offshore and largely out of reach of federal law.
