GRIC to get fourth casino under new tribal pact with state
by Howard Fischer | Capitol Media Services
Arizona tribes are going to get at least four new casinos — and possibly more — along with more slot machines, more games of chance and the right to take wagers on a whole new category of sporting events.
One of the new casinos will be on the Gila River Indian Community between Casa Grande and Chandler.
The compacts being signed Thursday by tribal leaders and Gov. Doug Ducey show there could be at least an additional nearly 6,300 video gaming terminals allowed in the state. That is on top of the 13,640 the state Gaming Department says are in operation.
