From the Publisher...
As our September issue hit the streets, Hurricane Katrina was building force in the Gulf, and ended up being one the biggest natural
disasters in U.S. history. And with amazing alacrity and dedication, people from all over the country — and the world—began pouring relief donations and funds to the stricken area. And California and national gaming tribes have, as usual, opened their co ers to help those in need. You can read about local and national gaming tribes’ and gaming industry’s aid on pages 4 and 23.
