Wabanaki Nations urge judge to dismiss Oxford Casino challenge against internet gambling

Maine’s four Wabanaki Nations are asking a federal judge to throw out Oxford Casino’s challenge to the state’s new internet gaming law, arguing the measure is grounded in tribal sovereignty and Maine’s longstanding legal agreements with federally recognized tribes. The filing is the latest development in a lawsuit over Maine’s Economic Opportunity Act , which Gov. Janet Mills signed earlier this year after a heated debate over online casino gambling.
