Following the petition for an exterior help, filed Thursday by the Ho-Chunk Nation, the arbitrator was assigned to settle down the incompliance between the tribe and the state on the matter of new gambling opportunities for the tribe. Some of the games that appeared to have been at stake are roulette and craps.
Since last year, both sides have been engaged in continuous debates. The disputes began roughly when the Court ruled Jim Doyle to have breached his authority while signing a compact with another tribe allowing it to enjoy a similar type of provision, including extended casino games such as roulette, blackjack and others, requested by the Ho-Chunk.
Tracy Littlejohn, the spokeswoman of the tribe reported that the tribe and the state have been arguing as to the length of the compact, the suit of the games and the share a state would receive from the tribal gambling operations.
The arbitration was accepted by state officials and so the process will likely to last about six month.
