Gila River Hotels & Casinos – Vee Quiva

Will Vee Quiva Hotel & Casino open a sportsbook?

Right now, Gila River Hotels & Casinos – Vee Quiva doesn’t feature a sportsbook, but that could change, as Arizona sports betting was recently legalized.

It is unclear which of the tribes operating Arizona casinos will get one of the ten available sports betting licenses. Given Gila River’s position as one of the major players in the state, it seems more likely and not the group gets a license, but the Arizona Department of Gambling has not offered much insight on the decision process.
