    The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs announced that an amendment to the Tribal-State compact for class III gaming between the Chitimacha Tribe and the State of Louisiana has been approved by law. This amendment extends the compact's term by seven years and raises the dollar amount for Tribal licensing and State certification of vendors to the Tribe's gaming facilities. The approval took effect automatically since the Secretary of the Interior did not act within the required 45-day review period set by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

    Simple Explanation

    The United States government and the Chitimacha Tribe decided to keep working together on casino games, and they've set some new money rules when someone wants to sell stuff to the Tribe's gaming places. This decision happened automatically because a big boss didn't speak up in time.

    Simple Explanation

    The government said it's okay for the Stillaguamish Tribe in Washington to use special electronic game tables in their casinos and decided they don't have to share money for helping people stop smoking anymore.
