Some tribes have handled their windfalls with surpassing prudence. The 185 Shakopee Sioux around Prior Lake, Minn., opened a 1,300-seat place just over a year ago. Already the bingo profits, $2.5 million, have paid for new medical clinics, a day care program and an 85-foot-high tepee-cum-cultural center.
