The Arizona Coyotes want a new state law that legalizes sports betting changed to allow them to keep running their mobile sports gambling operation when they move from Glendale to Arizona State University’s hockey arena next season.

But the Arizona Indian Gaming Association and multiple Native American tribes oppose the last-minute measure approved by the Arizona Senate’s appropriations committee on Tuesday. They argue that the 2021 law that legalized sports betting was part of a complex deal they negotiated with Gov. Doug Ducey that updated the tribal gaming compact.

The Coyotes don’t plan to open a retail operation at ASU, just keep running their mobile gambling operations, according to the Coyotes’ Andrew Diss, who testified for the proposal. He said there is a question as to whether or not a change in the law is needed to continue to operate their online gambling operations but said they’ve received contradictory answers.

"That was a compromise by the tribes and as well as the professional leagues and teams, and to go back and change that understanding, especially less than a year later, for something that is really self-created ... shouldn’t land at this body to address," Bradley Bledsoe Downes told the committee.
