The East Bay Coalition Against Urban Casinos today released the results of a survey which states that two-thirds of the voters in California oppose the increasing efforts of some Indian Tribes to expand with casinos into the urban areas of the state.

While Indian Tribes are only allowed to build casinos on their own land certain loopholes in gaming laws currently make it possible for them to build in other areas by buying land, usually with funding from non-Indian investors, and then have the government take that land in trust for them allowing them to build casinos on it.

The survey had margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
