Legislation
Bill seeks to expand non-Indian gaming in Arizona

A Republican leader in Arizona has introduced a bill to expand non-Indian gaming.

House Majority Whip Andy Tobin said his proposal will create revenues for the state. The bill would authorize slot machines, blackjack and poker games at up to 10 existing race track and wagering venues.

"We're billions of dollars in the hole," Tobin told Capitol Media Services. "There are very few options."

But Sheila Morago, the executive director of the Arizona Indian Gaming Association, said Arizona voters want to limit gaming to reservations. If Tobin's bill is approved, tribes would be able to expand their operations.

Democratic lawmakers, who are the minority party, agreed that gaming should be limited to reservations.
