"The proposition, a state constitutional amendment, would permit tribes to offer all casino games, including craps and roulette, something they cannot do under current state law. And it would allow them to operate as many casinos on their reservations as they chose, with as many slot machines as the market would bear... In exchange, tribes would pay 8.84% of their gambling profits to the state the rate that California corporations are taxed on their profits."
