The Yavapai-Apache Nation shared about $20,000 in gaming revenues with Yavapai County in Arizona. The county distributed the funds directly to five charities and non-profits, The Camp Verde Bugle reported. Recipients included Friends of the Verde River Greenway ($10,000) and Verde Valley Caregivers ($2,500), the paper said. Under its Class III gaming compact, the tribe shares a portion of revenues from the Cliff Castle Casino Hotel with the state. The majority -- 88 percent -- goes to the state while the remaining 12 percent goes to cities, towns and counties. Since 2004, tribes have shared more than $1.1 billion in gaming revenues, according to the Arizona Department of Gaming. Get the Story:
