New management
The Lucky Star Casino at Concho will be run by a new company, federal regulators decided.
The casino, owned by the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, has been managed by Minnesota-based Southwest Casino Corp. for more than a decade.
Late Friday, the National Indian Gaming Commission voided a two-year contract extension approved in April by the two tribes' legislature. The contract was to pay Southwest 10 percent of the casino's first $28 million in annual revenue and 15 percent of anything over that threshold.
Lifetime ban
The former manager of the Quapaw Tribe's casino at Miami, OK, has been hit with a $10 million fine and a lifetime ban from the tribal gaming industry.
The fine was among the largest imposed by the National Indian Gaming Commission, agency spokesman Shawn Pensoneau said.
Marc Dunn was punished for managing the casino from January 2001 through April 2005 without a federally approved contract.
The Quapaw Tribe cut ties with Dunn in 2005 and later paid a $50,000 fine for its association with him.
