Processo anti-apostas contestado por tribos do Arizona

The Yavapai Prescott Indian tribe in Arizona is suing to ban sports betting from September 9. The Tonto Apache and Quechan tribes are trying to stop him

The 바카라s operated by the Tonto Apache tribe and the Quechan tribe are Mazatzal Casino and Paradise Casino, respectively. The tribes are situated in Payson and Fort Yumaa.

House Bill 2772 provides sports betting licenses to 10 sports franchises and ten tribes. The Yavapai Prescott Indian tribe filed a petition with the Maricopa County Superior Court last week to block the implementation of House Bill 2772, which would allow licensees to begin collecting bets as early as this week, on Sept. 9.

On Monday, the matter was scheduled to be heard in court.

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and 20 of Arizona’s 22 federally recognized tribes had previously negotiated a revised gambling agreement, which was authorized by the U.S. Department of the Interior in May, which the lawsuit also seeks to overturn.

By changing the agreement, the tribes will be able to expand their 바카라s and offer additional table games, such as baccarat and craps, in addition to the existing ones.

Yavapai Prescott claims that the law is unconstitutional and that the expansion and additional betting possibilities provided by the modified bill and agreement will unfairly harm the tribe.

According to representatives of the Tonto Apache and Quechan tribes, Rosette, LLP, the Yavapai Prescott leaders ‘did not engage with the government throughout the legislative process.

The tribe is “pursuing a desperate 11-hour strategy that would unfairly penalize tribes that have followed the rules and adhered to the terms and conditions,” he added.

Tonto Apache President Calvin Johnson said, “The truth is that we have spent five years in meticulous and good faith negotiations with the governor and the Department of Gaming to protect our interests and ensure that our amended pact provides the best possible economic benefits to our people.

“We sought to involve the Yavapai leaders in developing strategies that would benefit small tribes with similar interests as ours, but they refused, saying they would simply sue if they were not satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations.”

State Senator T.J. Shope, who sponsored the legislation, called it a fair and equitable law and criticized Yavapai’s attempts to block its progress.

“I hope that any legal challenges will be quickly rejected so that the economic opportunities already happening as a result of the Tribal State Gambling Pact Amendment can continue to materialize,” Shope said.
