The Florida Supreme Court has recently made a decision that keeps the Seminole Gaming Compact intact, denying a petition from West Flagler and a pair of parimutuels. These entities had sought to challenge the legality of Florida's online sports betting law on state constitutional grounds through a petition for writ of quo warranto. The court declined to exercise jurisdiction over the case, thereby not addressing the merits of the argument but rather dismissing it based on the type of filing, as reported by GrayRohrer and analyzed by Justin_A_Byers. This decision represents another legal victory for Governor Ron DeSantis and state lawmakers, who have been proponents of the gambling deal with the Seminole Tribe, allowing for the continuation of online sports betting in Florida.
