  • Bets are off: Indian casinos suffer in bad economy

    Fresno, California (AP)

    While Indian casinos don’t have to report their revenue, gamblers say they are visiting less frequently – and wagering less.

Fresnans Donna and Chuck Henderson, who used to gamble every other day, say they now visit twice a month and stick to penny slots.
