Officials in Grand Forks, North Dakota, say they are open to the possibility of a tribal casino in the city.
The Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Tribe has already met with some officials to discuss the idea. If approved, it would be the state's first off-reservation casino. City council members say they haven't heard enough about the proposal to make a final decision but that they are keeping a positive outlook.

Four other tribes operate casinos on their reservations. Get the Story:
