Voters in Wisconsin have nine proposal for off-reservation casinos before them.

Only two off-reservation casinos exist in the country. One is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the other is in Washington state.

The Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe and a partnership of three other Ojibwe tribes have proposed off-reservation casinos in various locales.

The Ojibwe partnership in Hudswon was previously rejected by the Department of Interior in 1995. After a settlement and a Congressional investigation, their proposal is under consideration again.

A total of 10 off-reservation casino requests have been received by the Interior since 1988. The St. Regis Mohawk of New York were approved earlier this year for one.
