The NHL\u2019s Arizona Coyotes are seeking a tweak to a newly minted sports betting law in the state. But local tribal gaming entities oppose the effort.<\/p>\n

The Coyotes are moving to Arizona State\u2019s hockey arena next season, where the team will play for the next three campaigns until a new venue in Tempe is ready. At issue are the facts that the college hockey complex has a seating of capacity of just 5,000. But Arizona law requires sports venues to accommodate at least 10,000 for betting to be offered on those premises.<\/p>\n

\n

The Arizona Indian Gaming Association and several local tribes oppose the law change, noting that the legislation passed last year that opened the state to regulated sports wagering is part of a broader, more complex gaming compact they negotiated with Gov. Doug Doocy (R).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Arizona Senate\u2019s appropriations committee approved a measure that would help the Coyotes on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u2018Unnecessary Turf War\u2019<\/h2>\n

Regulated sports wagering launched in Arizona last September<\/a>, and it\u2019s been an unbridled success in the state. That’s because policymakers there opened the market to include 20 licensees, split among professional sports franchises and tribal gaming entities.<\/p>\n

The sports teams partner with commercial gaming companies, including DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and BetMGM to offer mobile betting. Dividing the state\u2019s legal sports betting market among commercial and tribal operators appears to be working well. But as they do in other states, tribal gaming groups are complaining, all but saying they want a monopoly unto themselves.<\/p>\n

Last September, the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe pursued litigation<\/a>, claiming the state acted in bad faith in negotiating sports wagering accords. But a Maricopa County Superior Court judge didn\u2019t issue a temporary injunction. The new rift with the Coyotes underscores the lengths some tribal gaming entities will go to thwart competition.<\/p>\n

To see this, this opposition from the tribe, is really upsetting because this does not negatively affect the tribes one iota. None, zero,\u201d<\/strong> Sen. Sonny Borrelli, a Republican from Lake Havasu City, told the Associated Press. <\/em>\u201cIt\u2019s moving from one location to the other, and it\u2019s temporary.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Coyotes said they don\u2019t want to open a retail sportsbook at the Arizona State facility, but they want to continue offering mobile wagering in the arena. Moreover, the NHL team is seeking temporary permission continue with mobile betting while at ASU. It\u2019s scheduled to move into a new $1.7 billion venue in Tempe in three years.<\/p>\n

Arizona Learned Important Lessons<\/h2>\n

What comes of the Coyotes\/tribal gaming spat remains to be seen. But the fact remains that Arizona\u2019s legal sports wagering market is vibrant and one of the fastest-growing in the country.<\/p>\n

Conversely, states with single-operator schemes and those that don\u2019t allow mobile betting are merely bit players, and aren\u2019t accessing regulated sports betting\u2019s growth potential<\/a> to its fullest extent.<\/p>\n

Washington State, where tribes control sports betting, proves as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
