The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians of Michigan is sharing $6.2 million in gaming revenues with local communities.
The tribe contributes 2 percent of slot machine revenues from the Four Winds Casino to a special fund. The Pokagon-New Buffalo Area Local Revenue Sharing Board determines how to allocate the money.
The $6.2 million represents a payment from the first full year of operation for the casino, which opened in July 2007. The first found was held up while the tribe resolved concerns about the revenue sharing board.
