However, the situation might be about to change as a new federal lawsuit seeks to open the sports wagering game to the non-tribal gaming properties. Sports betting became legal exclusively at 16 tribes’ casinos in September 2021. Located one hour from Seattle and Tacoma, it is home to the Salish Cliffs Golf Club, Seven Inlets Spa and Skookum Creek Event Center. Owned and operated by the Squaxin Island Tribe, the sportsbook is located 15 minutes from Olympia and is among the first tribal casinos in Washington state to offer sports betting. The new space features eight betting kiosks, 30 luxury lounge seats, eight 82-inch video screens and a 20-by-10 foot LED video wall.
In partnership with International Game Technology (IGT) and its PlaySports Technology platform, the Little Creek Sports Book is open on the main casino floor. Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton announced it will offer sports betting at its new lounge, which opened Tuesday, February 1.
