The state of Michigan and two tribes have settled a dispute over their compacts and the state's Keno game.
The Little River Band of Ottawa
Indians and Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians agreed to continue sharing revenues with the state. But they will cut the rate to 6 percent from 8 percent.
The state will continue to operate Keno. The tribes contended the game violated exclusivity provisions of their compacts.
The tribes agreed to make other changes to their compacts to speed up the distribution of revenues with local governments. "I am excited about the cooperative spirit that enabled this settlement," Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Tribal Chairman Frank Ettawageshik said in a statement.
