Three tribes in Wisconsin pull in about three-fourths of the state's casino revenue, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe, the Ho-Chunk Nation and the Oneida Nation are the biggest beneficiaries of Indian gaming, according to figures cited by the paper. The three tribes stand to stay on top with new compacts Gov. Jim Doyle (D) recently signed, the paper adds.

The state's remote tribes took in very little revenue, according to the figures. The balance could change if off-reservation casinos are authorized.
