In Washington State the Tribal Gaming is already exempt from many of the gaming laws and many of the labor laws. They are practicing preferential hiring of tribal members over non-tribal members. Tribal members get better wages and benefits packages, and discrimination is rampant - and LEGAL. They have a stranglehold on gambling and they can now afford to pay to keep it. When the other casinos wanted to make lotto slots legal the tribes spents 5 BILLION dollars on one campaign showing kids standing in the rain watching through the window of the local bar as their parents pulled the one armed bandit. The truth is they are not just putting the casinos on reservation land anymore, They can buy prime property anywhere they want, build a huge casino and rake in billions without paying taxes. I'm so sick of it. Now they are also exempt from the new online gambling bill as well. So if the tribes wanted to open an online casino in WA, then any WA resident could play there becuaase under the Indian Gaming act tribal gaming is legal anyway they want to do it - and under the new act intra-state online gambling is also exempt.
