Twice a year, the tribe shares 2 percent of its slot machine net win with local governments. A total of $253,249.06 went to entities in Baraga County and Marquette County, according to a press release.

The tribe also shares 8 percent with the state. That payment was $1.03 million.

The money comes from the tribe's two Ojibwa Casino facilities, both of which are undergoing an expansion. Work at both sites is expected to be complete in late 2018, The Marquette Mining Journal reported.
