	ContraCostaTimes.com \| 11/21/2006 \| Tribe lacks ties to Richmond land, study says
		A Northern California Indian tribe's claim to a hunk of local history -- a key to its casino dreams in North Richmond -- defies a century of research that places its ancestral homeland 90 miles north, according to a new, county-funded study.
		The tribe's own ethnohistory claims the North Richmond land is close to the sites of historic Pomo villages and trails; that Pomos were baptized at Mission San Rafael, just across the Bay; and that the tribe's ancestors fled north in the mid-1800s to escape disease and fear of enslavement.
		Among them: that the North Richmond land is "near the boundaries of the territory the Pomo ceded to the United States during the 19th century." According to Beckham: "The word 'near' means at least 30 miles south of the nearest Pomo-speaking area.

		River Rock Casino sits perched on a slash in the hillside southeast of Geyserville, a Hershey's Kiss—shaped dome of dark fiberglass with a massive concrete parking structure looming behind it.
		Many Indian casinos up and down California are dealing in elaborate tents or other semipermanent structures such as River Rock's mini-mosque that can be erected with minimal time and expense, providing a shell where the digital slot machines can begin spinning as soon as the power's turned on.
		Casino San Pablo is already in limited operation, and should Feinstein's bill win full congressional approval, the Lytton Pomos have vowed to sue, alleging that legislative action would represent an unconstitutional "taking" of their previously established rights to conduct gaming in San Pablo.

		A controversial casino planned in the San Francisco suburb of San Pablo skirted that legal barrier with a little-noticed amendment that backdated the purchase of property for the tribe, the Lytton band of Sonoma County.
		The proposal comes in the midst of a nationwide debate over whether tribes should be allowed to buy land for casinos and incorporate it into their reservations.
		The casino pact was based on a law passed by Congress in 2000 at the behest of Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, which allowed the San Pablo cardroom owned by the Lyttons to be taken into federal trust in a way that allowed a casino to be built there.

		That is the same location as the terminal for the Richmond ferry that operated for a short period after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
		Until recently, the development at Point Richmond was impeded by its remote location, accessible only through a long, dark tunnel and an industrial drive past the marine terminal and a tank farm belonging to a former vegetable oil plant.
		Several casinos have been proposed in and around Richmond, but the casino/resort proposed for the former Point Molate Naval Fuel Depot, located within city limits north of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, appears to have the greatest momentum, at least as far as the City of Richmond is concerned.

		RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) - Contrary to a Northern California Indian tribe's claims of ties to Richmond, extensive research places its ancestral homeland 90 miles north, according to a new study.
		Snubbed by the county, Scotts Valley turned to Richmond, though the land it is eyeing falls outside city limits.
		The tribe would pay about $108.9 million for the first six years of a casino, and about $16.4 million a year after that, until the agreement expires in 2026.

		A casino game typically provides a predictable long-term advantage to the house while offering the player the possibility of a large short-term payout.
		Casino games often offer the player the illusion of control in which the player is given choices, but the choices do not eliminate the player's long-term disadvantage (the house advantage).
		This disadvantage is caused by the casino not paying the full amount that would be expected for the odds wagered.

	New Tribal Gaming Study Misses the True Impacts of Casino Gambling
		Gambling in California, already a larger industry than in Las Vegas, extracts a large toll on California residents and the state's economy -- and as gambling creeps into urbanized areas, the costs are expected to increase dramatically.
		The Contra Costa County study calculated that the expansion of Casino San Pablo would result in almost 30,000 Contra Costa residents becoming problem gamblers, one additional traffic accident each day, three additional ambulance transports from the casino to local hospitals and delayed ambulance response and transport times due to increased traffic congestion.
		"For this reason, I propose a moratorium on all new casino developments in California until the state can conduct a comprehensive and unbiased study on the effects of future casino development -especially casinos in urban areas." The San Francisco Bay Area has recently emerged as a hotbed for urban casino proposals.
