The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma has an ambitious plan to build anywhere from seven to nine casinos in Ohio.
One would be located near the Pennsylvania border that would attract gamblers from the Pittsburgh area. The $300 million casino could compete with racetracks that now have the legal authority to offer slot machines under a new state law.
The tribe says it will share revenues with the state. Gov. Bob Taft (R) is opposed to more gaming.
