Tribal gaming revenues fell 13 percent in the last quarter of 2009, the Arizona Department of Gaming reported.
Tribes shared $11.1 million with the state, down from $12.8 million a year prior. And even that was lower than the $15.2 million two years ago.
"Obviously these are not good times," Pam Hait, a spokesperson for the Arizona Indian Gaming Association, told The Arizona Republic. "Everyone is trying to be as smart as they can with their marketing and operations to get through this."
Tribal casino revenues have been falling since the first quarter of 2008.
