Hard Rock bets could start in Florida next week

Like Aerosmith riding at Disney World's Hollywood Studios, it was really a rock-and-roll coaster, but Hard Rock Bet looks "Back in the Birds" again.

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia declined to hear a full-court hearing of West Flagler's case against the U.S. Department of the Interior. This means the South Florida game operator wanted all judges in certain courts to hear their cases to prevent Hard Rock Bet from relaunching in Florida. 파칭코

The Home Office responded to West Flagler's August 14 request for a retrial on August 31, which did not necessarily mean anything was imminent because it took the court months in the past to comply with the retrial authorization. However, it did not take long for the court to order the petition to be rejected, stating, "In light of the plaintiffs' petition for a retrial of the en banc, their responses, and the absence of a request for a vote by a court member."

Hard Rock Bet can start making bets online and at retail stores as early as Tuesday, September 19, according to the appeals court ruling, which takes effect eight days after the ruling.

Westflager may file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the United States to prevent the Seminole Tribe from relaunching. The South Florida game operator may also try to prevent a relaunch by filing a lawsuit in Florida state court under the 2018 Amendment 3, which requires the expansion of gambling to be placed before voters. But legal experts believe neither of these cases will be in West Flagger's favor, and in the meantime, hard rock bets won't be open to business.

At the heart of the matter is whether the U.S. Department of the Interior duly authorized a 2021 agreement signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis between Florida and the Seminole Tribe, which granted tribes exclusive rights to retail and sports betting in the Sunshine State.

Of course, this is the second time the Seminole Tribe has opened its sports betting business for a little more than a month in 2021 and then closed under court orders due to a legal challenge from West Flagler, which runs the Bonita Springs poker room in South Florida.
