The agreement is the last step in a process of tribal restoration of receiving gaming compact approvals. It will help the Wilton Rancheria to enter tribal gaming in a highly competitive area.

“Approving this management contract does so much more than create a business partnership between Wilton Rancheria and Boyd Gaming,” stated NIGC chairman Jonodev Chaudhuri.

“This management contract supports the tribe’s efforts to better their community in many ways, ranging from investing in schools to providing medical support for their people. This contract encompasses the spirit of what IGRA (Indian Gaming Regulatory Act) was created to do – maintaining that tribes are the primary beneficiaries of their gaming operations.”
