Modifies existing gambling
prohibitions to authorize Governor to negotiate compacts
with federally recognized Indian tribes, subject to
legislative ratification, for operation of slot machines,
lottery games, and banking and percentage card games on
Indian lands. Fiscal Impact: Uncertain fiscal effect on state
and local tax revenues ranging from minor impact to significant
annual increases. State gambling license fees of tens of millions
of dollars annually.
- A YES vote of this measure means:
- Indian tribes could legally operate slot machines
and banked and percentage card games (such as twenty-one) on
Indian lands in California. In addition, the 57 tribal-state
gambling compacts previously approved by the state would go
into effect if approved by the federal government.
- A NO vote of this measure means:
- Indian tribes could not legally operate slot machines and
banked and percentage card games on Indian lands in
California. In addition, the 57 tribal-state gambling compacts
previously approved by the state would not go into effect.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 1A:
- Prop 1A prevents the
shutdown of Indian gaming in California and promotes
Indian self-reliance. It will allow Indian Tribes to continue
to have regulated gaming on their own tribal land to provide
jobs and fund education, housing and health care
programs for gaming and non-gaming tribes.

- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 1A:
- Proposition 1A legalizes
blackjack and up to 100,000 slot machines in California.
Result: 214 authorized tribal casinos-- some Las Vegas-sized,
some run by Nevada gambling companies-- paying
no state or federal taxes on profits. We pay for costs of law
enforcement and gambling addicts while casinos give
millions to politicans.
