Recent legal victories for the Seminole Tribe have led to their decision to relaunch Florida sports betting next month. The tribe says that in addition to accepting wagers on sporting events at all six of their casinos, they will also begin accepting bets on roulette and craps games.
Following the US Supreme Court decision to deny a motion against Florida sports betting, Governor, Ron DeSantis welcomed the Seminole’s plans to launch move forward. The High Court’s decision effectively cleared the way for the Seminoles to proceed.
Craps, roulette and sports betting will be launched on December 7th at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood, and the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. The Seminole Hard Rock Tampa will follow the very next day.
The last Tribal owned properties of Seminole Casino Immokalee and Seminole Brighton Casino launch on December 11th. The tribe will host a series of events to mark the occasion, with further details being announced in due course.
Seminole tribe chairman Marcellus Osceola Jr stated that the tribe, the state and the federal government were able to achieve a historic victory for Florida sports betting. “The Seminole tribe thanks the state of Florida, the US Department of the Interior and the US Department of Justice for defending our compact” he said.
Governor DeSantis added that he believes the Florida sports betting industry will create over a thousand new jobs, increase tourism for the state, and provide billions of dollars in much needed revenue.
