flag California tribes oppose AB 831, fearing it blocks rural tribes from digital gaming partnerships, worsening economic inequality.

flag California tribal leaders oppose Assembly Bill 831, saying it deepens gaming inequity by blocking smaller, rural tribes from accessing digital gaming opportunities through partnerships with social gaming companies. flag While a few wealthy tribes have built billion-dollar casino empires using outside investors and non-tribal management, smaller tribes like the Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation remain dependent on a $1.1 million annual stipend unchanged for 25 years. flag Critics argue the bill undermines the original intent of tribal gaming—economic equity for all tribes—and favors entrenched interests, contrasting with more inclusive models in states like Washington.
