The Penobscot tribe has pushed for legislation allowing them to add slot machines to their bingo hall, but has not been granted it thus far.

Famous quotes containing the word gaming:
“Sir, I do not call a gamester a dishonest man; but I call him an unsocial man, an unprofitable man. Gaming is a mode of transferring property without producing any intermediate good.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
