The state of Wisconsin stands to reap $118 million from new tribal casino compacts in the coming year, ranking it second in revenue sharing to Connecticut, according to a review by The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The paper examined 22 states and found that Connecticut, with $400 million from two tribal casinos, topped the list for the year.

Wis. Gov. Jim Doyle (D) expects tribal casinos to contribute $237 million over two years to the state's coffers.

The paper said tribal-state sharing still remains rare, with tribes in five states required to split revenues with the state. The number rises to seven states next year.
