The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe of Wisconsin began running a 60-second radio commercial on Wednesday to promote a new gaming agreement with the state.

The tribe is one of two in the state that has negotiated a new compact. The deal will expand casino operations and direct more revenues to the state.

Under the compact, the tribe has the authority to offer simulcast betting on horse and dog races but has decided not to pursue the option, a state official said.
