The number of slot machines allowed in Arizona's tribal casinos will jump from 9,000 to nearly 16,000 in the next five years.

Compacts signed by outgoing Gov. Jane Hull (R) and the tribes allow for the increase. They also call for the tribes to share up to 8 percent of revenue with the state.

The compacts were signed after voters approved Proposition 202, a ballot initiative, last month. The Department of Interior needs to give final say to the deal.
