TEXAS TRIBES’ BINGO IS GREEN LIT
The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas has been approved to open a Class II gaming facility on tribal lands Texas - Operations
The US Department of Interior (DOI) and the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) have given the green light for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas to open a Class II gaming facility on tribal lands in accordance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
Class II includes bingo and electronic versions of bingo whilst Class III refers to casino style gaming.
The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe’s gaming Entertainment Center was closed in 2002, with the tribe battling to open it ever since.
Nita Battise, Tribal Chairperson of the Alabama- Coushatta Tribe, said: “Past Tribal Councils have worked hard to get where we are today with this approval. The Tribe’s perseverance has paid off. It is a testament to the dedication and support of our Tribal Members that helped accomplish such a major milestone in our tribal history. A Class II facil- ity will allow the Tribe to better address the needs and functions of the Tribal government, and take care of our people. Not only will it benefit the Tribe, it will benefit the entire region in southeast Texas
because an entertainment business attracts visitors to the region and we will be able to provide employ- ment in the area.”
The facility is expected to open early next year on a site covering 10,000-acres on an Indian reservation in east Texas, south of Livingston.
Carlos Bullock, a spokesman for the tribe, said: “When we were open before, we generated about $1 m a month. When we closed, it was devastating to the tribe. It was a huge impact to lose that kind of revenue, and all those jobs.”
There are three Indian tribes left in Texas; the Alabama-Coushattas, the Tiguas and the Kickapoos in Eagle Pass. The Tigua Indians are planning to open a gaming facility on Ysleta del Sur Pueblo reserva- tion near El Paso.
The Kickapoo tribe has run the Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass with more than 3,300 slots since 1996 without interruption as it gained federal recognition at a time when different laws were in place.
California California’s Viejas Casino & Resort has officially opened its second luxury hotel tower and expanded casino, which has seen 1,000 slots added to the floor. Thousands were in attendance for the grand opening ceremony for the new five-storey tower. Separated by the hotel pool area and the Park at Viejas, a designated space for concerts and special events, the $50m hotel tower features 109 deluxe rooms and luxury suites, a fitness center and business center, a spacious bar and lounge, and nine state-of-the-art meeting spaces including the Oak Ballroom, accommodating up to 1,200 attendees. Upgraded amenities in the VIP suites include multiple HDTVs, handcrafted furniture and décor, oversized shower, Jacuzzi whirlpool baths, and more. This expansion creates an additional 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor multifunction resort space, and increases current hotel accommodations to a total of 237 rooms and suites.
Developer silent as Baha Mar is placed into receivership
THE BAHAMAS The Supreme Court in the Bahamas has placed the $3.5bn Baha Mar project into receiver- ship after approving an applica- tion from the EXIM Bank. The aim now is to ensure that the relevant parties co-operate to get the resort completed and open. However the court has already appointed liquidators to make 2,020 Baha Mar employ- ees redundant due to the finan- cial insolvency of the project.
Attorney General Allyson Maynard Gibson said: “We will only take steps that are in the best interest of the Bahamian people. We want Baha Mar
remobilised, opened and opera- tional.” However with Baha Mar developer Sarkis Izmirlian, who has spent $850m to $900m in the project, side- stepped in the move, which also takes away any decision mak- ing power from him, some observers are seeing it as a hos- tile takeover.
Free National Movement Chairman Michael Pintard said: “It is safe to assume that there is going to be further litigation and if we were to judge this matter by any other receiver- ships we have observed in this region, this could lead to a pro- tracted struggle, causing further
delays in opening the resort. If Baha Mar’s developer is not factored into discussions going forth it is reasonable to expect that the investor is going to engage in what will turn out to be a protracted fight to protect the $900m he has invested.”
“The other thing that raises concern for us are charges of nationalisation,” he added. “Some say it is a hostile takeover. The FNM is not agree- ing or disagreeing with that characterisation, but clearly that is a negative signal to the international community in terms of how the Bahamian government has chosen to operate. The FNM is concerned that such a message has the potential to have a negative impact on people wishing to do business in the Bahamas.”
