The Rosebud Casino will be able to add more gaming machines under a new gaming compact between the state of South Dakota and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
The new compact was signed today in Pierre. Tribal and state compacts are necessary for any class III gaming on tribal lands under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. The most recent compact between Rosebud and the state happened in 2009, Rosebud Tribal president Scott Herman said during the news conference.
Herman said the Rosebud community was seeking equal dignity with other Sioux Nation casinos that have secured 1,000 gaming machines.
There are nine casinos on American Indian reservations in South Dakota.
