West Flagler Associates, which operates casinos in Florida, has brought an argument before the Florida Supreme Court regarding the future of online sports betting in the state. In a 52-page response, the company argues that the language of Florida gaming legislation defines sports betting as a gaming activity, similar to slots and table games. The company's counsel, Raquel A. Rodriguez, emphasizes that the compact between Florida and the Seminole Tribe treats all sports betting as a gaming activity, and therefore, it should be decided by voters.
The Florida Supreme Court has a tough decision to make as it considers arguments from both sides of the issue. Until then, both parties will continue to benefit from Florida gaming. In June, the D.C. Circuit reversed a lower-court judgment that blocked the 2021 compact between Florida and the Seminole Tribe after West Flagler argued that the compact permitted gaming outside of Native American lands, which violates the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
