Thompson filed a pair of proposals Oct. 27 that would allow for legal, statewide digital wagering with the tribes in charge. The proposals would be on the November 2024 ballot.

“The tribes have been very diligent about sending some [amendments] over and we’re trying to incorporate all of those,” Thompson said Sunday night.
