The Potawatomi are preparing to deal with competing casinos opening in downtown Chicago Waukegan, Illinois and Beloit. The tribe also is required to pay the state $20 million as part of its gaming compact. The net win doesn’t include revenue generated by the casino’s restaurants, concerts and hotel. That compares with $4.4 million to each entity in 2021. The tribe paid about $5.9 million to each government entity for the year that ended June 30. Wisconsin tribes’ casino revenue is confidential, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was able to calculate the figures, since the Potawatomi pay the city and county of Milwaukee 1.5% of its net win. MILWAUKEE (AP) - Gamblers lost at least $415 million at the Forest County Potawatomi casino in Milwaukee over the last fiscal year, about 1.7% more than they lost the previous year.
