Washington Gambling Commission considering expansion by Spokane tribe
OLYMPIA, Wash. The state Gambling Commission meets Friday in Olympia to
consider an agreement with the Spokane tribe. The deal would allow the tribe
to offer as many as 47-hundred slot machines at five casinos. State
lawmakers are concerned that other tribes in Washington will seek the same
expansion of gambling. Tribal officials say it would be a refinement of
agreements reached after the 1988 federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
