California Governor Urges Tribal Leaders to Keep Casinos Closed


Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, wrote a letter to tribal leaders asking them not to open their casinos. He expressed concern about the reopening of casinos in tribal lands.

Win-River Resort & Casino opened in Northern California last week. Three casinos in the San Diego reservation are planned to open this week.

Gavin Newsom cannot force tribes to close their casinos because tribal laws are not subject to state laws.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
