In exchange, the Oneidas agreed to share 25% of their slot revenues with state and local governments. Halbritter said because the Chittenango casino will be on Oneida reservation land, no permission is needed from federal, state or local governments under terms of a 1993 gaming compact with the state.Ī 2013 state compact ended dispute over what constituted Oneida Nation land and gave the Oneidas exclusive rights to gambling activity in a 10-county area surrounding its Turning Stone Casino in Verona. The Oneidas announced plans for the Yellow Brick Road Casino four days after a state panel recommended licensing three non-Indian casinos, including a $425m casino and hotel 42 miles west of Syracuse in Seneca County.
