An initiative that would allow California tribal casinos to offer sports betting became eligible for the ballot Thursday, after more than 1 million signatures were verified by county election officials across the state.
The measure would let federally recognized tribes in California operate roulette, dice games and sports wagering on tribal lands, as long as tribal-state gaming compacts are negotiated with the governor and approved by the state legislature.
Californians would be able to legally bet on Lakers, Dodgers and Rams games at tribal casinos and horse-racing tracks if it does in fact pass during that time.
