The Fond du Lac Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indians must share slot machine revenues with the city of Duluth, Minnesota, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday.
In 1994, the tribe agreed to share 19 percent of slot machine revenues from the Fond-du-Luth
Casino. But the tribe recently stopped making payments, saying the agreement violated the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act.
Judge Ann Montgomery disagreed and said the agreement remains valid. The tribe reportedly owes $4 million in back payments, having already paid $75 million over the last 25 years.
The case is City of Duluth v. Fond du Lac Band
