The California legislature sent a bill to Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s desk Saturday that will allow tribal casino operators a one-off chance to sue the state\u2019s 84 licensed cardrooms.<\/p>\n

The tribes claim the card clubs offer games that violate their own exclusivity on house-banked casino games. But they have previously lacked the legal recourse to challenge the clubs. That\u2019s because, generally speaking, state courts lack jurisdiction over tribes, which are sovereign nations. And meanwhile, federal courts prefer not to interfere with California\u2019s internal gaming laws.<\/p>\n

The Senate approved the Tribal Nations Access to Justice Act by a resounding 32-2 on the final day of the legislative session. The bill authorizes the tribes to seek limited declaratory and relief action to determine whether the card clubs\u2019 games violate their rights. They cannot claim monetary damages.<\/p>\n

California Games<\/strong><\/h2>\n

California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) Chairman James Siva described the legislation\u2019s passage in a statement as \u201ca new day in California history in regard to the civil rights of this state\u2019s tribal nations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

For over a decade, California tribes have engaged in considerable efforts to defend our exclusive gaming rights guaranteed in the California Constitution,\u201d Siva added. \u201cThe Tribal Nations Access to Justice Act gives tribes access to justice that has been denied not only in this case, but throughout California history.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the heart of the matter are so-called \u201cCalifornia games\u201d offered by the state\u2019s cardrooms. These are versions of popular casino table games that circumvent the ban on house banked games by taking a rake from each hand while allowing players to play in a rotating dealer position \u2014 just like in a regular poker cash game.<\/p>\n

But the cardrooms also hire state-licensed third parties to \u201cshill\u201d in the dealer spot because players don\u2019t always want to act as the dealer. The tribes argue that these companies, known as TPPPs, are a de facto \u201cbank.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jobs on Line, Say Cardrooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cardroom advocacy group the California Gaming Association<\/a> (CGA) has said the bill could cost the industry around 32,000 jobs. That\u2019s because an unfavorable court ruling stemming from the bill would force many of the clubs to downsize or shut down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill will only throw government budgets into uncertainty and make a mockery of our judicial system,\u201d according to an August 20 statement by the CGA editorial board. \u201cWeaponizing the legislative process so that one special interest group can try to drive out perceived competition is silly on its face.\u201d<\/p>\n
