The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska wants to open negotiations with Nebraska, so it can expand gambling on its on its reservation. Winnebago officials believe many Nebraskans want casinos even though the petition to legalize casinos that the Winnebago, Santee Sioux and Omaha tribes backed earlier this year failed to gather enough signatures to get on the ballot. And earlier this month, the state Supreme Court ruled that a different casino measure can't be on the November ballot because it was too similar to measures Nebraska voters rejected in 2004. So the Winnebago Tribe decided to pursue negotiations with the state to allow Class Three gaming. Slot machines and table games, which are not currently allowed under Nebraska law, are included in Class Three gaming.
