Summary:
This article is about the State of Connecticut's efforts to stop the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe from operating a casino on their reservation by attempting to argue its illegality in the United States Supreme Court. The Tribe which was near extinction just 20 years prior plans to offer more gambling operations than any other tribe. The article mentions that other tirbes who have attempted to offer gambling operations in other states have either been restricted to offering less gambling or have been shut down entirely. The Mashantucket Pequot already operate a bingo hall on their reservation.
