The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi of Michigan paid off a $35 million gaming loan four years early.

The tribe secured the financing to buy 2,680 slot machines for the FireKeepers Casino. Just a year after opening the facility, the tribe earned enough to pay the debt in full.

The casino took in $96.5 million in slot machine revenues from August 2009 through December 2009, The Kalamazoo Gazette reported. A portion of the revenues goes to local communities.
