Patrick on Monday is set to sign the compact, which promises the state 21.5 percent of gambling revenue if the tribe succeeds in developing a resort casino in Taunton.

The tribe has proposed a $500 million casino on 146 acres of land at the junction of Routes 24 and 140. The complex, to be built in stages over a five-year period, also would include three 300-room hotels, retail shops, meeting space for business events and a family water park.

Under new state law, allowing up to three resort casinos, federally-recognized Indian tribes are given exclusive rights to build a casino in southeastern Massachusetts.
