Billions At Stake Over Tribal Gaming Propositions

RANCHO MIRAGE (CBS 5) ― The battle over Indian gaming in California may be the most confusing and contentious issue on the February ballot, with a slew of ads running for and against Propositions 94 through 97. At stake is a projected $9 billion in tax revenue for the state and much more for the tribes.

If the propositions pass, Agua Caliente, Morongo, Pechanga and Sycuan Indian casinos in Southern California would be allowed to add an additional 17,000 slot machines. The measures would put the tribes in the same league as the most prominent casinos on the Las Vegas Strip.

But opponents argue the measures would mean more traffic and pollution for areas near casinos. They also argue the expansion in gaming could ruin smaller Indian casinos.
