Tribes in New Mexico have asked Gov. Bill Richardson (D) to renegotiate their gaming compacts.
The tribes will meet with Richardson to discuss the compacts. It was not reported what changes are being proposed.
At one point, the tribes asked to offer free food and hotel rooms to customers. Richardson said he would agree if the tribes share more of their revenues.
Depending on size of their facility, the tribes pay up to 8 percent of revenues.
