A federal judge says the tribe that runs both of North Carolina's casinos is out of luck in its legal challenge against a competitor vying to build a third gambling facility in the state. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg rejected a legal challenge Friday by the North Carolina-based Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians over a planned casino near the state’s southern line. The new casino is being built by the Catawba Indian Nation of South Carolina and will offer Las Vegas-style gaming at a planned resort in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Friday's decision is the latest in a years-long casino turf war between the two tribes.
