Indian gaming? Tribal Progress or Cultural recession? I dislike the idea completely; have you ever been to one of those Casinos? I know solely the Californian casinos, but everyone ive been to makes me sick through a combination of cigarette smoke (since tribal lands aren’t within the jurisdiction of the State affected by the "No smoking in bars and restaurants" law), alcohol and passionless people. Gambling is actually something i enjoy on the side sometimes, although i can participate only within my circles due to my young age, but do you think that these establishments are helping or hurting the tribes that support them? Does anyone live on a reservation with or without a casino? Just looking for feedback

You do have to consider a few things.

One. They have been fuxed over so amny other ways that it is hard for them to get money. Since it isn't legal to gamble in the state (reservations are techincally NOT part of the state or the country really to my understanding) they open casinos and get all the gamblers. And casinos make good money.

Two. If you don't like it, don't go. Duh. Why complain about things when you have the simple choice of not going there?

Three. Well, I guess it is only two
