I would like to know the rule about malfunctions in Las Vegas, because the fact that Indian Casinos on soveriegn Indian land are not obliged to play is, I'm sure, an Indian gaming rule when we get down to it. A state-run gaming commission is going to have a hard time enforcing and implementing fines on Indian casinos if they really don't want to play along. In the end its up to people taking the risk to go there and do business

As I understand it, disputes that arise
between a non-indian contractor doing something on indian land, the non-indian contractor has very little recourse by way of the courts. The same goes people working on Indian land regarding workers comp, wrongful termination etc.

I'm not in any way saying the tribes are out to screw people, but they can if they want to. There are a lot of construction companies who kindly say no thanks to building on Indian land, and the worst case of this I know of personally is the Native Sun waterpark 4 miles north of Ft Still on the H.E. Bailey turnpike. To this day it sits empty; non-indians built it, the park opened, the tribes tried to reneg on the payment agreed upon to the contractor, the contractor almost went bankrupt, contractor also happened to be largest and oldest and most popular firm in the county, which didnt sit well with all the non-indians going to the park; public boycotted park, park died. this was like 15 years ago, and alas this is the wrong thread for me to bitch about the tribes, sorry
