A U.S. Supreme Court ruling last week was a victory for a Native American tribe in Texas that had been in a legal tussle with the state over the use of electronic bingo games on tribal land going back to the 1990s.

But the decision could have other ramifications for the Texas gaming landscape, where efforts led by Las Vegas Sands to legalize commercial casinos have been unsuccessful since the mid-2000s.

States bordering Texas have Las Vegas-style casinos. Texas gaming proponents have long lamented the state is losing potential tax dollars to casino operators in Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico.
