Forest County Potawatomi Tribe sees drop in casino revenue



The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe saw a 1.3 percent decline in gaming revenues at its off-reservation casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The tribe doesn't disclose exact figures from the Potawatomi Bingo Casino. But based on a revenue sharing agreement with local governments, it's possible to calculate the drop in business at the facility.

The tribe paid a total of $10.88 million to the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County, representing 1.5 percent of the casino's annual net win. The payment was down from $11 million last year.

Meanwhile, the tribe continues work on an expansion project. A 1,400-stall, six-story parking garage is due to open in early October.
