BRADLEY, MI -- The Gun Lake Tribe, which operates the Gun Lake Casino, announced it will pay more than $8.2 million in spring revenue-sharing payments to the state of Michigan, local entities and its economic development arm.
Under the terms of a tribal-state gaming compact, the tribe shares a percentage of its electronic gaming revenue with the state and local governments twice each year.
The state received $4,603,777 in the most recent revenue-sharing payment, and the local revenue-sharing board received $2,301,883, according to a news release from the tribe. GLIMI, a tribally owned, non-gaming economic development entity, received $1,381,130.
Local communities benefiting from the revenue-sharing are Wayland Township, Allegan County, the Allegan Area Educational Service Agency, the city of Wayland, Dorr Township, Hopkins Township, Leighton Township, Martin Township, Wayland Union Schools and Yankee Springs Township.

“We are pleased to continue sharing revenue with the local community,” Bob Peters, chairman of the Gun Lake Tribe, said in a statement. “The compact payments fund important local services, and k-12 public education programs, that greatly enhance the quality of life in our area.”
Since the opening of the casino in 2011, the tribe has shared $126,655,194 with state and local governments over 17 semi-annual distributions, according to the statement.
Payments from the tribe to state and local governments continue as long as the tribe has exclusive gaming rights within its competitive market area, which includes the cities of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Lansing, as well as the counties of Kent, Kalamazoo and Ingham, among others.
