Sports betting could soon be coming to the Mole Lake casino near Crandon.
Gov. Tony Evers’ office announced Friday that the Sokaogon Chippewa Community signed an amended gaming compact with the state that would allow gambling on sports and other events at Mole Lake. The agreement must still pass a 45-day review by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
“The Sokaogon Chippewa Community appreciates working cooperatively with the state of Wisconsin to further increase economic opportunity for both the Tribe and the surrounding communities,” tribal chairman Robert VanZile Jr. said in a news release. “This historic agreement is a win for all parties involved and will mean great things for the Tribe, our enterprises, and the Mole Lake and Crandon areas.”
