The News Tribune reports that a press release says Spectrum Gaming Group has worked in the field since the 1980s and has conducted studies on gambling in other states, including Florida and Connecticut.

Washington State Gambling Commission announced Thursday that it hired the consultants. Commission Chair Chris Stearns says the study’s results will be a powerful economic tool for the state and its Native American tribes. It is expected to be complete by late fall.
