The Catawba Indian Nation and several partners in its Two Kings Casino in North Carolina have been violating federal law and other regulations, the National Indian Gaming Commission announced Wednesday.
As a result, the Catawba Indian Nation and those partners could face a fine of nearly $60,000 per day for each violation and the Two Kings Casino could be temporarily closed.
“We do not take this enforcement action lightly, but do so to preserve the integrity of the industry and protect the valuable tool Indian Gaming represents for many Tribes as codified in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act,” said E. Sequoyah Simermeyer, the chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission, in a statement.
