Fond du Lac Band weighing its options in gaming revenue case

The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians is weighing its options after losing a lawsuit over a gaming agreement with the city of Duluth, Minnesota.

In 1994, the tribe agreed to share 19 percent of slot machine revenues from the Fond-du-Luth Casino. The tribe recently stopped making payments, saying the agreement violated the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Judge Ann Montgomery disagreed and said the agreement remains valid. But the tribe has yet to resume payments to the city.

“Obviously, we have our position, and the city has its position,” Chairwoman Karen Diver told The Duluth News Tribune.

Since 1994, the tribe has shared $75 million with the city. An accounting issue in the lawsuit could result in the city returning some of the money.

The 1994 agreement is also about to expire but the two sides have not been able to proceed with negotiations.

The case is City of Duluth v. Fond du Lac Band.
