The fight for Florida sports betting and online gaming marches on as the Seminole Tribe submitted a response to West Flagler’s request for an en banc hearing of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia’s decision to restore a 2021 Florida gaming compact.
The D.C. Circuit Court ordered a response from the Seminole Tribe two weeks ago, a rare request when en banc hearings are being considered, and gave them a deadline of today to submit.
The tribe submitted its 25-page response around 4 p.m. and contends there are no matters of “exceptional importance” within the court’s ruling that would necessitate an en banc hearing.
