Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) is asking eight tribes to meet to discuss their use of multi-player gaming stations.

The request to meet came as the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians dropped its lawsuit over the issue. The tribe sued the state, in federal court, over the Gambling Control Commission's rule [PDF] that changes how player stations are defined. The change would put the Pechangas in violation of the tribal-state compact.

It was not reported why the tribe dropped the suit. Schwarzenegger wants to meet with the Pechanga Band, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians and six other tribes to discuss the issue.
