How much trickles down to actual members of indian tribes?
So I was playing poker in Pompano (Fl) the other day. The usual suspects at the table.
Mr.Iknoweverythingabouteverything chimes into the conversation about revenue sharing from the Seminole casinos. He said that each member of the tribe receives $7,000/month. All children born to tribal parents automatically start receiving the $7k/month. This does not sound plausible, but he did talk with a lot of conviction. Is this possible? If so am I able to change my name back to RunningDeer? Oh yeah, and what's the deal with 5-10 NL, $100 max buyin? |

It depends upon the tribe. There are CA tribes that distribute far far more than 7k/mo/member.

Each member of the tribe that owns Pechanga casino here in SoCal is making $30,000/month.

[/ QUOTE ] And those lovely tribal elders are kicking out long time members so that they can increase the average take for those remaining. Los Angeles Times had an in depth article last Sunday on it. I doubt anyone will be let in to the tribes if the tribe has a successful casino. This type of stuff is happening all over the place. And in California, the tribes said they would "help out" other California tribes that were unable to open a casino due to their location (middle of nowhere). They are giving almost nothing. Greed can be an ugly thing. |
