An off-reservation casino in Wisconsin won't hurt other gaming facilities in Wisconsin and Illinois, according to a study prepared by the St. Croix Chippewa and Bad River Chippewa bands.

The tribes say their casino in Beloit will not draw customers away from two tribal casinos in Wisconsin and non-Indian facilities in Illinois. Beloit is located near the Illinois border.

The tribes are planning a large casino, a hotel, retail shops and a convention center. They have asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to take the land into trust.
