The Kalispel Tribe of Indians and Northern Quest formally unveiled the new Turf Club Sports Book on Friday with an invite-only special event. Jay Inslee approved the amendments before they received final federal approval. The Washington State Gambling Commission and Gov. The approvals were among those granted to 15 tribes that requested tribal compact amendments to allow sports betting.
The Kalispel and Spokane tribes were granted federal approval in September to allow sports betting on tribal grounds. The Spokane Tribe Casino, meanwhile, is hoping to launch its new state-of-the-art sports betting area later this month, said Javier De La Rosa, general manager of the Spokane Tribe Casino.
