The tension between Native American Tribes and card rooms in California has reached a critical juncture, poised to be resolved after years of conflict over the offering of certain casino games. Historically, Tribes could not sue card rooms due to their sovereign status, preventing them from turning to the court to settle disputes. This changed with the passage of a new bill in California, permitting Tribes to seek legal resolution to establish whether card rooms’ offerings of blackjack, baccarat, pai gow, and other casino games infringe on the Tribes’ exclusive rights.

Card rooms utilize Third-Party Providers of Proposition Player Services (TPPPS) to navigate around direct involvement in house-banked games like baccarat, poker, and blackjack. These TPPPS providers, licensed by the California Gambling Control Commission, act as the “bank” in these games, sidestepping any direct
