Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy is moving heaven and earth to bring the lucrative sports betting market to the Nutmeg State.

The Hartford Courant reported that Malloy has reached out to the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes in an attempt to resolve the thorny issue over who has the right to offer sports gambling in Connecticut. Lawmakers and tribal gambling operators have locked horns over whether the tribes have an exclusive right to betting under the tribes’ current agreement with the state.

Though they were in favor of having sports wagering in the state, the two tribes insisted that wagering on sports was a commercial casino game that fell within the exclusivity provisions of their tribal-state gaming compact.

Lawmakers, meanwhile, contended that the tribes couldn’t claim control over sports betting using the agreement since betting was never contemplated when the compact was signed.
