JCB1977, great job on your research. A nice find and an amazing read. I was really surprised at the revenue figures that were mentioned. Almost half a billion from just 4 Seminole bingo/poker joints,and that was over 20 years ago. I was also touched by the "generosity" of the Tribal loan system for members who ran up gambling debts. Only 50% interest.
Two Pilgrims are seated near two Indians at the first Thanksgiving. One Pilgrim whispers to the other, "If we give them whiskey .we can take all their land" The Indians overhear this,and one whispers to the other, "if they give us gambling, we'll get it all back"
