East Texas could be seeing their first casino after the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas believes they have the right to build a casino on their 10,000-acre site.
Following a legal challenge by the tribe to the U.S. Department of Interior and the National Indian Gaming Commission who found in favour of the tribe, the casino is expected to be open by early next year.
“This would be a big shot in the arm,” said Carlos Bullock, a spokesman for the tribe who said that the clan has struggled financially since its first casino was shut down by the state in 2002.
“When we were open before we generated about $1 million 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,” he said
That casino was closed following a legal challenge by the Texas state officials saying that state laws over ruled that of Indian tribe laws.
