Outgoing Arizona Governor Jane Hull (R) is ready to sign new gaming compacts with tribes in the state but is waiting until a federal judge gives her the green light.

With the unofficial passage of Proposition 202, an Indian gaming initiative, Hull said in a statement: "We are moving forward with tribal-state agreements as the voters have directed us to do."

Proposition 202 was backed by a 17-tribe, $20 million campaign. It sailed to a narrow victory but all the votes are still being counted.
