The city council in Lorain, Ohio, approved two off-reservation casino agreements with the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.
The council voted 9-1 on the tribe's land deal and on an agreement to share gaming revenues.
An amendment bars the tribe from conducting Class II gaming if Class III gaming is rejected by the state.
The tribe is eyeing up to nine sites throughout Ohio.
