| When I go to a casino, I'm hoping to win, of course, but I also want a fun experience and an atmosphere where I feel even the smallest action is welcome and treated with respect. I've found that at The President on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. If you are planning a trip to this area, by all means, give the President a try. It's one of the most relaxed, fun and truly enjoyable casinos I've ever been in--and Heaven knows I've been in a bunch of them. If you come by, say hello to Jimbo--the smilingest boxman/supervisor I've ever seen, who may start up an Indian war chant at the craps table to bring good omens on the players. Play craps with Richard and get treated to some fun chatter. Place your bets with Claude at the roulette wheel and laugh all the way to the cashier's cage. Go to the craps area just to look at Lynn--the most gorgeous games supervisor on the coast. Don't forget "Big John" at the craps table either, who can figure out your betting scheme in two seconds and makes sure you never miss a beat. By all means, don't pass up the poker room, where Sheree' and Joey may deal a jackpot hand any day now. Wherever you go to gamble, however, be sure it's a place where they treat you well--you deserve it. Editorial: Reshuffle, Recut, Redeal. Davis gets second chance on casino compacts. Every governor makes mistakes in the early days of his administration, and for the past three years California has been paying for one of Gov. Gray Davis': the rules governing Indian casinos. …In its haste to conclude a deal, the state made drafting errors and sloppy decisions. …Given that backdrop, it is no surprise that the gambling compact Davis signed in California is among the worst of any negotiated in the country. …provides that after March 7, 2003, the state and the tribes can begin negotiations over the "the number of gaming devices" each tribe can operate. In short, starting Jan. 1, California can begin to renegotiate this one-sided compact in a way that protects all the citizens of California. Sacramento Bee, 12-24-02 Governor Enters Fight to Block Indian Casino. Gov. Gray Davis formally entered the fight to block an Indian casino in western Contra Costa County, filing legal papers in support of card room owners who want to stop the conversion of Casino San Pablo to a gaming hall brimming with slot machines. …Davis said that Proposition 1A…authorized Indian gaming in California, but limited casinos to remote tribal lands. The governor's action appears to send a message to other tribes attempting to site casinos in urban centers, including Richmond, Vallejo and West Sacramento, that he will attempt to stop the expansion of Indian gaming into other cities.
