The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin plans to announce details of a new casino agreement with the state.

The state is eyeing a larger share of revenues from the 11 tribes that operate casinos. Gov. Jim Doyle (D) says he expects $237 million will help close a budget gap. Tribes say they are willing to make a deal in exchange for expanded gaming.

The existing compacts are due to expire in the coming years.
