Connecticut lawmakers and the tribal operators of Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun are at loggerheads over who will be in charge of sports betting operations once it is legalized in the state.

The Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes argued that they have the exclusive right over the conduct of sports betting in the state as provided under the tribes’ current agreement with Connecticut, according to the Hartford Courant report.

They also reminded lawmakers of the legal opinion penned by Attorney General George Jepsen, which cautioned legislators to “carefully consider a number of factors before legalizing sports wagering.”

Jepsen opined that the tribes will argue “that a state law permitting sports wagering in Connecticut may violate the exclusivity provisions” of their tribal gaming compacts.
