In closing, Stallings pointed to the immediate political challenges that will test the tribes. These include bills to legalize and regulate I-Poker, Daily Fantasy Sports, and sports wagering.  All three, as witnessed by the 9-year stalemate over I-Poker, will require diligence, unity and political comprises among the state's tribal gaming enterprises and governments.  "I hope, amidst all the potential for profits and politics around internet gaming, that the consumer doesn't get lost and that we will continue to look to gaming that rewards both the players and the host.

"My personal goal is to revitalize CNIGA.  It's our historic home base, our tribal campfire, the place we come to stay in tune with our industry, to debate and discuss legal and legislative issues,  and to build consensus and resilience as we look to the future of tribal government gaming," he concluded.
