Oklahoma tribes shared about $105 million with the state in fiscal year 2009, an increase of 23 percent from the year prior.
Tribe with Class III compacts share between 4 percent and 6 percent of revenues from electronic gaming machines and 10 percent of table game revenues. The increase in 2009 was largely due to money from gaming machines, the Office of State Finance reported.
Most tribes saw an increase in revenues but several tribes saw a decline, the state said. And last year, only one tribe signed a compact.
"I think we're getting close to the maximum number of compacted games," Derek Campbell, the head of gambling compliance for the state office, told The Tulsa World.
