Be careful about this one. California didn't properly set up thier Indian Casino laws after the voters passed that proposition. So, what was proposed to the voters as being Casinos out on the Indian reservations has turned out different. Cleverly, the Indian Tribal Councils have purchased land and therefore, it becomes reservation land and they can build casinos on it.
Now, in the middle of beautiful scenery in the Siskiyou Mountains, there's a monstrosity of an Indian Casino, and that's not the only place its happened. There was speculation this type of thing would happen but we were assured by politicians that was not the case. Its a terrible loophole.
Additionally, out of all the tribes in California, there are only four who are building casinos. The overall Indian population has not seen any improvement in their quality of life. But four tribes have gotten wealthier and wealthier. I'm not sure the Indian casinos are the solution they were cracked up to be.
