REVENUE AT GAMBLING OUTFITS DOWN
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 -- 2:23 PM
Wisconsin's 11 American Indian tribes made less money off of their casino operations from 2007 to 2009.An audit of the 11 tribes' casinos shows profits plunged about $56 million over that time, or roughly 9%.
Tribes still made about $543 million in 2009, down from nearly $600 million in 2007.
State revenue from all tribal gambling increased from $52 million to $124 million over the 2-year period, due largely to a 1-time $60 million payment made by the Ho-Chunk tribe in 2008.
