    So the Indians gave us their land in exchange for casinos and sports betting? I don't think Columbus had it planned that way when he discovered America.

    It did reach that final step yesterday: (Although it may be challenged by morons who are against it but the State Of Florida and the Seminoles are well-prepared & will be tough to beat)


    US officials approve Florida-Seminole sports betting deal

    Associated Press
    August 6, 2021


    TALLAHASSEE – Federal officials approved a deal Friday that will allow the Seminole Tribe to operate sports betting and add roulette and craps to its seven Florida casinos, with the state potentially receiving $20 billion over the next 30 years.

    Gov. Ron DeSantis had worked out the gambling compact with the tribe this past spring, and it was later approved by the Republican-controlled Florida House and Senate. The deal needed final approved from the U.S. Department of the Interior, which oversees tribal gambling operations.

    “The final approval of this historic gaming compact is a big deal for the State of Florida,” DeSantis said in a statement. “This mutually-beneficial agreement will grow our economy, expand tourism and recreation and provide billions in new revenue to benefit Floridians.”

    Officials said the agreement will generate an estimated $6 billion through 2030. The Tribe is not currently making any revenue payments to the state.

    “Today is a great day for the people of Florida, who will benefit not only from a $2.5 billion revenue sharing guarantee over five years, but also from statewide sports betting and new casino games that will roll out this fall and mean more jobs for Floridians and more money invested in this state,” Seminole Tribe of Florida Chairman Marcellus Osceola Jr. said in a statement.

    Under the agreement, the Seminoles could begin sports betting Oct. 15 and sports wagering at horse tracks, jai alai frontons and former dog tracks for a share of the income. Online sports betting operated by the tribe also will be allowed.

    Democrats opposing the deal have argued that the compact violates Amendment 3 passed by Florida voters in 2018. The amendment to the state constitution prevents the expansion of gambling outside of tribal lands without voter approval.

    In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law that barred states from authorizing sports betting. Florida’s original compact with the Seminoles gave the tribe exclusive rights to slot machines and blackjack. In exchange, the tribe paid the state several billion dollars. Payments stopped in 2019.

    ........................................ ..........................

    Sports betting in Florida: Feds allow DeSantis’ gaming compact with Seminole Tribe to move forward

    WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — A 30-year compact reached between Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Seminole Tribe of Florida earlier this year to bring sports betting and expanded table games to the state won't be blocked by the federal government.

    The United States Department of Interior chose to take no action to either approve or disapprove of the compact and instead let the 45-day window expire, effectively giving the deal the green light.

    But the deal isn't moving forward without concerns.

    "The Department has concerns regarding the inclusion of provisions relating to jurisdiction over tort claims and mandatory vendor contracts. We also believe it is important that the Department address the provisions relating to internet gaming activities and revenue sharing," the Department wrote in a letter to the Seminole Tribe.

    Under the deal, sports betting, exclusively through the Tribe, on professional and collegiate sports will be legal in Florida.

    "Such wagering is deemed to be exclusively conducted by the Tribe at the location of the servers that process such wagering activity of the Tribe's Indian lands," the Department wrote. It added that the player placing bets must also be located within the state of Florida.

    According to a letter sent to the Tribe, no proposition bets on collegiate sports will be allowed.The compact also allows the Tribed to open three additional facilities on its Hollywood Reservation

    "The Department commends the Tribe's extraordinary accomplishments in its gaming endeavors and wishes the Tribe continued success," the Department wrote.

    However, craps and roulette can be added at the tribe’s casinos.

    In exchange for the compact, the state gets a guarantee of $2.5 billion over the next five years and $6 billion by the year 2030.

    “The final approval of this historic gaming compact is a big deal for the State of Florida,” DeSantis said. “This mutually beneficial agreement will grow our economy, expand tourism and recreation and provide billions in new revenue to benefit Floridians."

    “Today is a great day for the people of Florida, who will benefit not only from a $2.5 billion revenue-sharing guarantee over five years, but also from statewide sports betting and new casino games that will roll out this fall and mean more jobs for Floridians and more money invested in this state,” Marcellus Osceola Jr., Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida added.

    Anti-gambling groups say placing sports bets through smartphones could occur off tribal land even if the computer servers processing them were housed on tribal land. That, they argue, would still be a violation of federal law.

    Lawyers who specialize in this sort of thing say the compact might also violate Amendment Three. It was passed by voters in 2018, giving Florida citizens the right to decide issues related to gambling that occurs off tribal land.

    DeSantis has previously said the state and the Seminole Tribe are prepared to vigorously defend the agreement in court.

    They didn't give us their land we took it, and it was never their land to begin with they were never a country they were just Savages, like animals.

    To have a country and control land you need a Navy.

    Lots of lawsuits coming from the No Casinos group, and Fanduel and Draftkings who are shut out of this monopoly. It will take a while.....

    From what I understand it will still be up and running during all of that

    And DeSantis and the Seminoles have said they are already prepared to combat those idiots who are against it.

    Florida's & the Tribe together will be tough to fight financially.

    Disney who's been against it all and helped trick voters into voting for amendment 3, just might back off a little with their park issues and could, or should, even realize that legalized sports betting will actually benefit them in many ways.

    Also Fanduel & Draftkings actually are involved, so it's likely they already have a preliminary agreement with the Seminoles.

    DraftKings, FanDuel drop $20 million into initiative to legalize sports betting in Florida

    July 13 2021

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Two major online platforms have dropped $20 million into an effort to legalize sports betting in Florida and direct the state’s proceeds from the popular activity to education.

    DraftKings and FanDuel each contributed $10 million to the Florida Education Champions political committee late last month, according to the state Division of Elections website.

    The committee filed a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize sports betting, in a move that could unravel a $2.5 billion deal struck by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

    “Thank you to DraftKings and FanDuel for stepping up to the plate in an incredible way to kick off our amendment process that stands to help all Floridians. Our amendment will direct hundreds of millions of additional dollars toward Florida’s Educational Enhancement Trust Fund and open up the market for online sports betting to competition,” David Johnson, chairman of the political committee, said in a press release issued Monday.

    The sports-betting behemoths’ $20 million contributions comprised the total amount of money collected by the committee in a campaign report filed on Monday when campaign finance reports were due. The onslaught of funds comes as committees try to head off a new law aimed at making it harder to pass constitutional amendments.

    The law, passed by Republican legislators this spring, would place a $3,000 limit on contributions to political committees as they collect petition signatures for ballot initiatives. The limit would make it much harder --- critics say impossible --- to collect the required petition signatures.

    The law (SB 1890) was slated to take effect July 1, a week after the multimillion-dollar contributions to the sports-betting initiative. But U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor blocked the law, saying it runs afoul of the First Amendment.
