Florida gambling stakeholders asks Supreme Court to intervene and invalidate agreement

The state's highest court has been requested to intervene by gambling interests in Florida who are opposed to a plan to give the Seminole Tribe sole control of sports betting there.

The proprietors of two casinos in South Florida are requesting that the Florida Supreme Court essentially void a treaty with the Seminole Tribe. The tribe would have a monopoly on sports betting in the state through its current casinos and its online Hard Rock Bet sportsbook if the governor signs the compact in 2021.
