The Narragansett Tribe has settled a contract dispute with its former gaming partner but will only pay Capital Gaming International $10 million if the tribe succeeds in opening a casino in Rhode Island.

And only if its profitable enough to make the $119,000 monthly settlement payments.

The tribe for years has tried to open a casino in the state. It has to get voter approval for such a project and voters in various communities have turned it down.
