A favorable U.S. Supreme Court decision on the challenge of its compact could lead the Seminole Tribe to begin pursuing Florida online casinos.

“I think that, No. 1, if the case was resolved in our favor, we would then have to reinitiate conversations with the governor’s office, the House and the Senate. And then that becomes a political process that we would navigate through. Certainly, the polling suggests that the citizens of the state of Florida would like to have it, but you have to go through the process.”
