Seminole Tribe and Hard Rock Casino Introduce Exciting New Games, Including Sports Betting

The Seminole Hard Rock Tampa is launching new table games and sports betting, including craps and roulette tables, as well as a sportsbook. This expansion comes after a new compact was signed with the state of Florida in 2021, but legal challenges delayed the launch. Now, with the Supreme Court ruling in their favor, the casino is officially open for bets, and Floridians 21 and older can place bets on the sportsbook app, Hard Rock Bet. The launch will be celebrated with a performance by Thomas Rhett at the Hard Rock Event Center.

Supreme Court Clears Path for Online Sports Betting in Florida

The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency bid to block a multibillion-dollar agreement between Florida and the Seminole Tribe, allowing online sports betting to potentially become available in the state. The agreement, championed by Governor Ron DeSantis, is expected to bring in $2.5 billion in revenue over the next five years and $6 billion through 2030. While concerns under state law were not addressed in the current application, Justice Brett Kavanaugh raised questions about potential conflicts. The court's decision may encourage other states and tribes to pursue similar deals.

"US Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Florida Sports Betting Case and Seminole's Offer"

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a temporary stay on a lower court ruling that allowed a $2.5 billion gambling deal between Florida and the Seminole Tribe. The stay was granted while the Supreme Court considers a request for a longer stay made by lawyers representing Florida casino operators. The decision does not indicate the final ruling, but it suggests that sports betting will not resume in Florida anytime soon. The lawyers for the Department of Interior have until October 18 to respond to the request for a longer stay. The gambling deal, which included authorization for sports betting, craps, and roulette, was approved by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. However, a federal judge ruled the deal illegal, leading to the current legal dispute.

Florida's Seminole Tribe Secures Victory in Court, Paving the Way for Online Sports Betting

An appellate court ruling has overturned a lower court ruling that had halted the $2.5 billion pact between the state of Florida and the Seminole Tribe, potentially paving the way for online sports betting to return in the state. The ruling stated that the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act does not prohibit a gaming compact from discussing activities outside Indian lands, including online gambling. The Seminole Tribe is expected to resume sports betting within the next month, with the aim of expanding nationally. However, opponents argue that online gambling is still subject to the state constitution, which requires voter approval for any expansion of gambling.
