Casino Deal: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed agreements with five casino-operating Indian tribes to provide about $1 billion to the state, fulfilling his campaign promise to wrest money from gaming to ease state budget deficits. The new pacts would remove a 2,000 slot-machine limit at casinos run by those tribes in exchange for the payments. The new pacts may be models for arrangements with dozens of other tribes.
