The Menominee Nation of Wisconsin released a study on Wednesday to promote a proposed off-reservation casino.
The tribe wants to convert an old dog track in Kenosha into a Class III casino.
But there is opposition from the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe, which operates a casino in the Milwaukee area.
Menominee Chairman Michael Chapman said both casinos can exist in harmony. The study predicts the Menominee casino would generate $2.2 billion over a five-year period while an expanded Potawatomi casino would generate $2.1 million.
Potawatomi officials disputed the study, saying their casino will be hurt if the Menominee casino is approved.
