The Seminole Tribe of Florida and a group of businesses that operate racetracks and poker rooms have settled a yearslong legal dispute over whether the Seminole Tribe should have exclusive rights to online sports betting in Florida. The tribe announced Monday that it was partnering with West Flagler Associates and the Bonita-Fort Myers Corp. for a comprehensive agreement. As part of the settlement, the companies have agreed to end litigation against the tribe’s gaming operations and instead will begin a new partnership to offer Jai Alai waging on the tribe’s Hard Rock Bet app. The tribe launched its online sports betting operation late last year.
