The Daily Oklahoman in an editorial today accuses Oklahoma tribes of threatening to turn the state into a casino mecca.

"Gambling opponents can do little to stop the spread of gaming operations in a state once known for prohibiting virtually every vice known to man," the paper writes.

The paper writes in response to two issues affecting tribes in the state. One is whether or not Indian casinos are operating on Indian land.

The second is casino game classification. Three tribes sued the National Indian Gaming Commission to keep running a controversial machine considered illegal in the state.
