The Minnesota Indian Gaming Association says Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) is distorting the amount of revenues generated by tribal casinos.
Pawlenty claims that the tribal gaming industry in the state is worth $10 billion. But MIGA points out that the figure is based on the amount wagered, not on actual profits or operating expenses.
Tribes take in between $1 billion and $2 billion before operating expenses, MIGA says
