How did you arrive at these numbers? Are you sure that the numbers and the orientation are correct?

Reminds me of reflected Gray Code like you'd see on a rotary encoder wheel.

Maybe something to do with the BHRC signals/directions?

In a resistor color codes schema(tying back to the radio aspect), the numbers would be:
Code:

         0
         -
         9
         -
         9
         -
         9

4|0|6|0     2|2|4|9

         4
         -
         5
         -
         2
         -
         6

with a 5 for the background

EDIT: Changed the "3's" to "4's".

Nice find, drizjr!

Per this page, the 2nd ring could be Cree or (if the green is discounted) Black Elk.
Or, possibly, Chippewa.

 		The betting table has four sections and you can place your rice into any of them and you can also bet more after the deal. I'm wondering if the directions.jpg is some type of betting strategy.

ETA. Also, I just noticed that the colors on the inner circle match the colors on the table (white, north; red, east; yellow, south; black, west).

ETA2. And, in the clinic directions and hours post (http://sacredhatcasino.com/html/listmsg.php?idsection=2&idsssection=13) east is written in red, which matches also.

That was just early spec on what the colors MIGHT represent.
Sometimes colors are used in puzzles to represent letters and/or numbers.
A common encoding uses the standard colors-to-numbers schema for resistors in electronics:

After Driz' find of the Native American colors for directions, it was pretty much invalidated.

Reason I ask is the numbers look like map co-ordinates but do not relate to the location of Sacred Hat.

 		On the Mayan card game, one can bet bigger numbers of rice by "highlighting" the group (swipe your mouse along the right edge of the table, to the right of the rice, while holding down the left mouse button). Unfortunately, when you get to loads of rice, too many script errors pop up to continue playing. Confused
So, how does one win this game?

The Sacred Hat

may have had the same decorators as a place I visited two years ago on beautiful Lake Simcoe.

Well, just about now Ms. Rita MacNeil is performing at CasinoRama.
Maybe there is a notary with a hat?

 		Some new insight on a Native American perspective
Hey guys,
I wanted too take a moment and show you something that we found the other day that has some intersting coincidences to the game. As you know their are various references to dogs in the sakanas journal column and SHC. This first link is in reference to Dog Soldiers of the Cheynne tribe. there are references to sacred arrows and other such things that tie in with the game. they have also been reported to be making a comeback within the last few years.
http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/program/episodes/one/dog_soldiers.htm
This next link is in reference to the American Indian Movement(AIM) that are considered an extremist group of sorts. They have fought the federal government a number of times, most notably at Wounded Knee in the early '70's This has some tie ins with , The Black Hills of south Dakota.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Indian_Movement

i'm just wondering if this ties in soehow.

 		Very interesting info, Gen. It's certainly food for thought.

 		Piece of Info from a picture
Hey guys, I don't know if you have talked about this yet or not. But the following attached picture, which is on the SHC site is a bit odd.

Why?




Take notice of the flag. Its NOT the Cheyenne Flag.

 		I don't think there are any clues in the scenery type photos. It appears that they are stock photos from Crow Agency, MT. One of the photos actually says Crow Agency on it and another has a campaign poster for Leroy Not Afraid who is an actual representative for Lodge Grass.

This map is an old map of projections for a full on strike by the USSR.
