A federal judge on Monday adopted the recommendation of a magistrate and allowed three Oklahoma tribes to continue operating a controversial casino game.

U.S. District Judge James H. Payne's preliminary injunction will stand until legal issues surrounding MegaNanza can be resolved. The National Indian Gaming Commission considers the game Class III, a classification disputed by the Choctaw, Chickasaw and Cherokee nations and the Texas manufacturer of the machine.
