Oklahoma's gaming tribes are sharing far less revenues with the state than expected.
This year, the projected revenue sharing amount was $53 million. Now it's only going to be $20 million.
Oklahoma voters legalized certain forms of Class III gaming for tribes. State officials said they state would see up to $70 million a year, with the money going to education.
A number of tribes signed deals under the new scheme but many have not installed the type of games that require revenue sharing. Those that have put them into play say gamblers don't like them as much.
