OLYMPIA, Wash. The state Gambling Commission meets Friday in Olympia to
consider an agreement with the Spokane tribe. The deal would allow the tribe
to offer as many as 47-hundred slot machines at five casinos. State
lawmakers are concerned that other tribes in Washington will seek the same
expansion of gambling. Tribal officials say it would be a refinement of
agreements reached after the 1988 federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
