Seminole casinos

Owners of two pari-mutuel facilities contended that allowing people to place sports bets while off tribal property violated federal laws.

Under the compact, the Seminoles will serve as the state’s hub for sports betting, with pari-mutuel operators contracting with the tribe. The Seminoles agreed to pay Florida about $20 billion, including $2.5 billion over the first five years.

A 30-year gaming compact between the state and the Seminole Tribe of Florida would allow gambling options akin to those available in Las Vegas. It would also legalize sports betting.

State lawmakers would have to sign off on the agreement, which is known as a “compact.” A special session to consider the issue is scheduled for May 17.

A Senate panel has advanced measures that would create a new gambling commission and would decouple most pari-mutuel gambling.
