State, tribe settle dispute over inspecting slot machines

Friday, April 8, 2005 | 9:35 a.m.

TOPEKA, Kan. -- The state and Sac and Fox tribe have settled a dispute over inspecting tribal slot machines, which could clear the way for a legislative vote on the tribe's proposal to build a new, larger casino.

The State Gaming Agency hadn't fully inspected machines at the Sac and Fox casino in Brown County since fall 2003, when the dispute arose over interpreting a 1995 compact between the state and tribe, permitting the tribal operation.

The tribe announced the agreement Thursday, a day after state and tribal officials signed it. Under the agreement, the state can inspect machines, as long as a technician and tribal gambling official are present.
