* John Redcorn tries to open one up in Texas in the ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode, "Redcorn Gambles with His Future". It turns out there's a law against it there (more precisely: the Texas tribes surrendered their rights in exchange for federal recognition) and the tribal leaders who gave him a loan swindled him. When asked why he didn't notice there being no other tribal casinos at all in the area, John simply thought he was the first to think of it.
