Yesterday (9 January), a group of Native American tribes in California sued dozens of licensed card clubs in the state, claiming they illegally offer player-banked card games, similar to those found in Las Vegas casinos, where gamblers play against the house.

On the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Jessica Welman is joined by Charlie Horner, SBC’s Content Director, to explore the ongoing legal battle, its historical context, economic implications, and potential outcomes of the litigation.

In the second part of the show, the duo discusses the latest legislative news from the region, including efforts by Maryland and Virginia lawmakers to introduce online casinos to their respective states.
