Links to maps (compliments of Google Earth and MLive) with visual overlays representative of the 40-mile radius (80-mile wide) "COMPETITION-FREE Zone" negotiated by Detroit-based Barwest LLC that would surround Barstow as provided for in yet to be ratified gaming compacts for the Big Lagoon Rancheria and Los Coyotes Bands of Indians.

  3. A 40-mile radius circle around the Los Coyotes Reservation in northeast San Diego County representative of the competition-free zone in the Barstow compacts. There are approximately 20 casinos open or in development within 40-miles of the Los Coyotes Reservation -- they compete every day; the newest set to open in March less than 10 miles from the Los Coyotes Reservation -- still others are expanding or planning plans to open new casinos.

Do you recognize this "competition-free" zone as you call it is 150x larger than Barstow itself?

OR 10x times larger than the City of Los Angeles?

OR 20% larger than the entire Island Nation of Jamaica?

That's sure one heck of a moat around the Barstow Gambling Palaces. Wonder what the pay-off was for such protection?
