In California and a trio of casino-operating tribes have reportedly lost a legal fight against the western state concerning who should be permitted to offer ‘house-banked’ card games such as blackjack and baccarat.

Compact claims:

According to a Thursday report from CalvinAyre.com, the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians and the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation filed suit against the state of California and Governor Gavin Newsom in January amid claims that their gaming compacts had been violated due to the fact that commercial casinos are now offering card games where competitors play against the house rather than each other.
