Tomorrow will mark a first for the folks at the Meskwaki Hotel and Casino. It will be the first time that the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission will meet in Tama.

The casino is run by the Native American Tribe, and is not under the regulation of the state.  I-R-G-C administrator, Brian Ohorilko (Ohorilko), says the operators of the Meskwaki facility came up with the idea back when the commission was considering a new gambling license for Cedar Rapids in 2017.

Ohorilko says the meeting will be the same as if they don’t have any formal talks scheduled, but they do expect to get a tour of the facility.

The Racing and Gaming Commission’s meeting is Friday at 8:30 in the convention center at the Meskwaki Casino Hotel in Tama.
