Answer 5

More and more every day. It's amazing how the native American population exploded in my home state of Michigan when the state legalized gambling for the native tribes and the tribes started paying out casino shares to members. Once upon a time it was something you didn't advertise. Now it's a good thing. Funny how that works. Good for them. I'm all for it.
