VP at Indian Casinos Vs. Las Vegas

I was giving thought to how with VP you 'know' the paytables & with
slots you don't. If playing VP at Indian Casinos (especially here in
So. CA), does it still matter that they are not regualted like Las
Vegas is? I mean, "if" (and maybe this is the issue) one can find an
good paytable with VP, would it be the same as plaing in LV? Or can
they change 'other aspects'of the game by not being regulated? I know
I have heard its not good to play slots at Indian Casinos because they
can have very low paybacks. What about VP?

What is "your" take on Indian Casinos in general? Avoid, don't avoid?

  Patricia,

   Here are a few quotes that I have on file concerning Indian-owned
Casinos.

   Terrence "VP Pappy" Murphy

"Native American gambling operations have two key huddles to
overcome in the perceptions of the American public: that they are
unregulated and that they are making money hand over fist. Neither
is true."
  --Paul Moore, Chairman of the Indian Gaming Subcommittee of the
National Gambling Impact Study Committee

   "Indians hide behind their sovereignty in disputes with their
customers, with the result that customers sometimes get screwed and
there is nothing they can do about it."
   --Stanford Wong

   'Without gaming, Indians would be back in the dark ages."
   --Tracy Burris, Chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association

   "In Southern California, there seems to be a consensus in the
hospitality industry and the media about tribal casinos: They're for
suckers."
   Rod Smith, Gaming Wire

   "Your editorial implies that Indian gaming is unregulated and
corrupt with mob influence. Both assertions are completely false."
   --Ernest Stevens jr., Chairman National Indian Gaming Association
