OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES

 

Under the Indian Gaming Compact, the Governor is authorized to execute a revenue-sharing agreement with any New Mexico Indian Nation, tribe, or pueblo that has also entered into an Indian gaming compact as provided by law.  Under the new compacts, each tribe shall pay the state eight percent of it net win, except if the total net win in a calendar year is less than $12.0 million, the tribe shall pay three percent of the first $4.0 million and eight percent of the rest of the net win.  Net win is defined as the annual total amount wagered at a gaming facility on gaming machines, less the prizes from gaming machines, regulatory fees, and $275.0 per year amount representing tribal regulatory fees.  The FY 02 consensus revenue forecast includes $8.0 million in Tribal Revenue sharing.
