International Center for Gaming Regulation In The News
In a flurry of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the Justices’ lack of action on one case is a major victory for the tribal gaming industry.

The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians is still adjusting to the concept of owning 301 Capitol Mall, perhaps the highest-profile vacant lot in the entire Sacramento region. While timing hasn't yet been determined, tribal representatives said they plan to develop it in some way, still to be decided.
