1.   Arizona gaming officials have challenged the legality of poker games operated by the Fort McDowell Indian Community.

2.   All poker-hall workers are subjected to checks by federal gaming officials, as well as the Arizona Indian Regulatory Association, Jenkins said.

3.   Gaming officials said the coyotes involved in the Scottsdale incidents could have been more aggressive because they were protecting a den of cubs.

5.   State gaming officials think otherwise.
