After a rough couple of years, Pojoaque Pueblo in New Mexico says it is turning around its gaming business with the help of an outside management firm.

The tribe defaulted on $245 million in gaming debt in 2009. As part of a restructuring, The Fine Point Group was hired in early 2010.

The relationship quickly went sour and a dispute between the two parties remains mired in tribal court. But Gov. George River said Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino is now running a profit thanks to the expertise of Full House Resorts.

"We have a great working relationship now. We trust each other," Rivera said at the Global Gaming Expo on Wednesday, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
