KRQE-TV.com - ALBUQUERQUE - While New Mexico’s Indian casinos paid the state nearly $64 million in taxes during the last fiscal year, a state official said it should have been more. “The amount of money that we speculate is owed is substantial,” said David Norvell, chairman of the New Mexico Gaming Control Board. “We estimate it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million.” Norvell, a former New Mexico attorney general, said the dispute centers on players who receive comped or free play at the casinos. “We believe the money they win should be counted for under their revenue share,” he said. The dispute may go back to the establishment of Indian casino gaming in the state in 2001 and it may involve more or less than $15 million, Norvell said. However, the gaming board doesn’t know for sure on either point because the tribes refuse to turn over records that would clarify those details, he said.
