New tribal casino compacts signed by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (D) won't bring in as much as expected, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Doyle said the new agreements, with extended terms and greater revenue sharing, would bring $237 million to the state. But it turns out that they will fall $37 million short of projections, due to provisions that allow poorer tribes to contribute less to the state.
