Despite some measure of bipartisan support in the legislature, sports betting has several key hurdles to clear before it becomes legal in Connecticut. First, Gov.-elect Ned Lamont must negotiate with the tribes that own Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, who claim an exclusive right to sports betting and could threaten to withhold slot-machine revenue from the state. Any agreement must then be cleared by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Only then can the legislature realistically implement a sports betting bill.
