The Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association and the Thoroughbred Racing Association of Oklahoma are accusing three tribes of shortchanging them on gaming payments.
Under the tribal-state compact, the Cherokee Nation, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and the Osage Nation share a percentage of net gaming revenues with the Tulsa Area Tribal Purse Fund and the Fair Meadows track. But payments have fallen by more than $2 million in the last year, according to the horse groups.
State Treasurer Scott Meacham said the decline could be related to a dispute with the Muscogee Nation. He said the tribe has excluded free play credits from its calculation of net gaming revenues.
Meacham believes the Cherokee Nation and the Osage Nation have not changed their calculations.
