West Flagler Associates ends years-long legal battle over sports betting with Seminole Tribe
A group of pari-mutuel business involved in casino gambling and racetracks has ended its long-running litigation against the Seminole Tribe of Florida over mobile gambling rights and the legality of the tribe’s gaming compact with the state.
West Flagler Associates LTD and associated companies said in a news release this week that they had entered into an agreement with the tribe, pledging to refrain from any future legal actions regarding the tribe’s gambling operations in Florida. The parties have also agreed to a new partnership in which the tribe will promote Jai Alai wagering on its Hard Rock Bet app, with a launch date expected sometime early next year..
The Seminole Tribe manages six Florida casino complexes, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos in Tampa and Hollywood.
