Cherokee Nation says new games are a hit

The Cherokee Nation says new electronic games installed at one of its casinos are a hit with customers.

The tribe recently installed 450 "compacted" games. Under state law, the tribe is required to share a percentage of revenues from compacted machines with the state.

The tribe's machines contributed to a 17 percent increase in the state's share of gaming revenues. But overall, the state's share has fallen far short of projections. According to The Oklahoman, the state will make less than one-third of the $40.5 million that was originally projected for the current fiscal year.
