CNIGA Executive Director Susan Jensen Statement on Lawsuit Against Card Clubs Engaging in Illegal Activity

November 19, 2018

Last Friday, two CNIGA member tribes, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians and the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians, filed a lawsuit against several Southern California cardrooms. They felt they had no choice as the state of California has consistently declined to take proper action against the flagrantly illegal activity engaged in by several card rooms in the state. CNIGA and our member tribes have attempted to engage the state on their failure to enforce California law and have discussed the topic time and again with successive attorneys general and officials within the California Department of Justice to no avail.
