Federal officials have decided that the Oneida Indian Nation’s Turning Stone casino, whose operations had been challenged in state court, can stay open, a tribal spokesman said yesterday. The federal Department of the Interior upheld the legality of the casino’s 14-year-old gambling compact with New York State, said Mark Emery, the Oneida spokesman. The department decided to review the compact after court decisions held that the agreement between the Oneida and New York State that paved the way for the casino’s opening in 1993 was illegal, and the tribe and state failed to negotiate a new deal. Turning Stone, which attracts nearly five millions visitors a year, includes a huge casino, three golf courses, three luxury hotels, and a convention center and showroom.
