VERONA, N.Y. — Once it’s permitted, the Oneida Indian Nation wants to offer sports betting on its properties and has announced a partnership to make that happen.
“The Lounge with Caesars Sports” will open at Turning Stone Casino Resort in Verona, Yellow Brick Road Casino in Chittenango, and Point Place Casino in Sullivan in 2019, an effort that is subject to National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) review.
Besides the NIGC review, the New York State Gaming Commission also has to issue sports-betting regulations, which the Nation will adopt for its casinos “pursuant to the Nation-State gaming compact.”
