MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Interior is reviewing a new gaming agreement reached between the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the state of Wisconsin. Gov. Tony Evers and tribal Chairman Louis Taylor have signed a compact amendment to allow betting on sports and non-sporting events at the tribe’s Sevenwinds Casino in Hayward and mobile wagering on other land within its reservation. The amendment follows negotiations between the tribe and the state Department of Administration’s Division of Gaming. The Department of Interior’s review will take 45 days.
