Gaming revenue benefits tribal health care
Wisconsin’s 11 tribes have used gaming revenue, by far their largest source of income, to supplement ever-shrinking federal money to cover health care costs for their members. But there’s a broad range of gaming profit among the tribes, from the Forest County Potawatomi, which reported transferring about $244 million from gaming to tribal government in 2012, to the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, which reported about $4.6 million.
