The Wyandotte Nation and state officials reconvened in January to formalize a compact allowing the casino to convert gambling equipment from bingo-style machines to slot machines while barring table games like blackjack. The casino opened in 2008 after a lengthy legal dispute. In a separate local note, authorities reported a helicopter draft on ice assisted a man who roped a deer ashore after two deer could not be moved.
