The Lac du Flambeau Band of Ojibwe is considering a floating casino off the coast of Mexico.
The tribe is being asked to invest $2 million in the venture with three partners. They would operate the Dream Catcher ship out of Cancun, a tourist spot.
The deal could bring at least $3 million in annual profits for the tribe, an attorney said.
This isn't the first time a tribe has looked to Mexico for gaming. The Oneida Nation of New York has sought to manage casinos in resort cities.
