The FBI is investigating allegations of mismanagement of gaming funds at the Kiowa Grand Center, owned by the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma.

The tribe shut down the casino on June 20, based on an order by the National Indian Gaming Commission, which said the casino was operating Class III gaming machines without a tribal-state compact.

Three years ago, the BIA defined the tribe as "high risk" due to allegations of spending abuse.

An audit of the casino from January through October 1999 showed that half of the records were unaccounted for.
