The Tulsa World reports the tribe joins a lawsuit filed by the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw tribes.
Citizen Potawatomi Nation joined the lawsuit last Friday, officials say.
The tribes argue the compacts that establish casino gambling automatically renewed on Jan. 1, but Governor Stitt maintains they did not, and they're up for re-negotiation.
Officials say last week Governor Stitt wants the courts to shut down most casino games until the dispute can be resolved.
