California Regulators Strike $43 Million Settlement to Close Long-Running Gambling Fee Dispute

Gambling News · 4d ago

California gaming regulators have agreed to a $43 million settlement resolving a years-long disagreement over fees owed by the state's card rooms and tribal gaming interests. The deal is being framed as a way to provide budget certainty for both regulators and operators while heading off further costly litigation. Terms call for phased payments, and the agreement still needs to clear the state's standard regulatory approval process before it takes effect.
