Coming from So Cal, there are a lot of 'rezs' and we have the most 'Indian gaming' casinos in the US. I see it as a good thing as the smart tribes are taking the profits and diversifying their portfolios and improving the lot of many. Some of these casinos have hotels, fire departments, golf courses, etc (and they generally pay better than comparable jobs on the local economy - you don't have to be a native to work there-, not to mention scholarships for their fellow tribesmen and money donated to different charities).

The big fight now is between the tribes over who gets the rights to run these casinos, how many, how big, where, etc.
