Home History Games News Dictionary		continued from California Tribes Come Together - 1 Tucker could very well turn out to be a formidable opponent against Frank’s case, as he holds significant power in the tribal gambling world. He is chairman of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, and is calling upon his power to gain cooperation for his fight against online gambling. Not to say that he doesn’t have just cause to be concerned: the probability of legalization for internet casinos in the US will very likely have a significant effect on land-gaming institutions, as Atlantic City and Las Vegas can attest to. While state governments will profit from the tax revenue, private and tribal casinos will be losing out to the convenience of gambling online. There has to be some clarification, however, on the fight, as just months ago, the tribal casinos were the voices calling out for more leeway for internet gambling as they tried to get the exclusive rights to set up an online poker network linked to their existing brick-and-mortar venues. Apparently Robert Martin, the chairman for the Morongo gaming tribe of California’s attempts to secure an exclusive contract to provide internet gambling to residents didn’t go as planned, a reminder suavely made by Congressman Frank in response to one of the petitions. Though the CNIGA sessions will entail much more than the battle against the UIGEA bill, the emphasis for their opposition is expected to be on internet poker, the domain wanted by the Californian tribes, said an article in the Desert Sun. The fight for online poker continues, but the chances of tribal casinos getting exclusive rights diminish if the whole of the internet gambling industry were to be legalized anyways. To discuss matters, a number of well-known names are expected at the congress, including Assemblyman Joe Coto, the executive director of the Augustine Gaming Commission, Michael Lombardi, as well as Martin. continued in California Tribes Come Together - 3
