Nottawaseppi Huron Band to share revenues from casino

Friday, February 12, 2010  

The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians will make its first casino payment to local governments in Michigan.

The tribe's compact calls for 2 percent of slot machine profits from FireKeepers Casino to be shared with the community. The payment was $1.9 million, double what was expected.

"We thought for a year, we would be presenting $2 million,” said Chairwoman Laura Spurr, The Battle Creek Enquirer reported. “This is five months.”

The casino opened last August.
