The Seminole Tribe of Florida will begin in-person sports betting, craps and roulette at all six of its casinos in December, the tribe announced in a news release Wednesday, and South Florida’s gamblers will get to experience it first.
The announcement comes a week after the U.S Supreme Court lifted a stay to allow sports betting in the state to move forward, a milestone in a series of legal challenges to a gaming compact between the tribe and the state of Florida that gave it a monopoly on sports betting.
“The Seminole Tribe thanks the State of Florida, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Justice for defending our Compact. By working together, the Tribe, the State and the federal government achieved a historic legal victory,” Marcellus Osceola Jr., Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, said in a statement.
