Alabama is slated to get another casino. Casino fans in search of games like roulette, blackjack, and poker, however, will have to go elsewhere for their games of choice. A man in north Alabama is considering handing 69 acres of land to the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee tribe. Charles Locust, the tribe's chief, reported that the project is still in early planning stages.
The gambling hall suggested in the north east part of the state would hold a casino that will not have roulette or poker, but only electronic bingo and pull-tab games. In addition, the tribe hopes that the project would raise the need for new hotels, where visitors and tourists could stay. The Tribe already operates a casino in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and depends on the casino's revenues to fund as much as 80 percent its tribal programs. |
