Work is suspended at the site of Fire Mountain Casino while Enterprise Rancheria waits on two federal decisions that will determine the type of gaming that will be allowed. A casino will be built at the site on Forty Mile Road, but the construction process is at a point where the tribe must make a decision to build as a Class II or Class III gaming facility. Due to how soon the decisions could be made, likely within the three months, it makes more sense to wait, Enterprise Rancheria spokesman Charles Altakruse said.
