see my post about the Danville Casino. Im from VA originally and hoping to move back in 2023/24 timeframe. I know VA Lottery is supposed to be overseeing things but I cant help but be concerned about the encroachment of the Cherokee Indians on the gaming ops in Danville and Bristol.
The Indian-owned casinos outside tribal land are subject to state regulation rather than state compacts with the tribe.
However I'm not sure how the sovereign immunity issue works here. I guess they have to waive it as some point when doing business in US territory.
My understanding is that they are being regulated like any commercial casino. Virginia Lottery wrote a long list of regulations for casinos. Everything from disputes to slot machine rtp being from 84% to 100^.
