The Washington State Gambling Commission (WSGC) and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians have announced a cautious agreement on amending a gaming compact.
After much discussion between the two parties, the WSGC and the Puyallup Tribe have finalized a proposed seventh amendment to the legally binding contract that was first signed in 1996, incorporating the first six amendments in a restatement of the original compact.
“We had a shared interest in producing a well-written amended and restated compact that resulted in some new and innovative approaches that will set the stage for other tribal-state negotiations into the future,” said Washington State Gambling Commission Chairperson Alicia Levy.”
