This is a little off-topic, but since we're talking about the KGC, thought I'd post this trip-report that appears on the Casinomeister forum about a field trip that the author took to the actual server farm in Kahnawake during Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo 2007. The most revealing peek inside the operations I've read so far:

"No TeePees here...

I was really looking forward to the final day of the GIGSE. I didn't have a chance to make any of the presentations, but I did have a chance to meet with David Montour, one of the Commissioners of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. I made it clear that several years ago, Kahnawake licensing had a pretty good reputation. Most of their casinos operated effectively and fairly. It's a bit different now; there are a number of rogue operations that continue to generate complaints making the KGC look like a rubber stamp. No one wants this, especially the Kahnawakes and the good operators that pay for their services. Mr. Montour admitted that they've been slow in recent months answering complaints, but they are determined to take care of all submitted player issues. I'll be collecting the ones that I have that have hit a dead end; these will be forwarded. I hope that better communication will get the KGC back on its feet and renew the respect that they deserve.

From there, I met Micki at the Trident Lounge offices, and we drove out to Kahnawake to check out Mohawk Internet Technologies This is where the servers are located for all of the casinos that are licensed by Kahnawake.

The building was non-descript. And no, there weren't any Teepees in sight - and no one was wearing moccasins or sporting Mohawks. From the outside, perhaps it looked like a warehouse that stores office furniture or running shoes, but entering the place, it was mighty impressive. The security is intense, and the rooms that store the servers are state-of-the-art. It was assuring that there are a number of backup safety features that guarantee 24/7 operation. They even have three massive 500kw generators on standby if there ever is a power outage. It was a really cool tour."
