"The future is now and its happened," Malloy said of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to open up legal sports betting in the states. "We need to definitively state what our position is," Malloy said. "It’s a little bit more complicated in Connecticut given the compacts with the Indian tribes. It is my opinion, and the opinion of lawyers who have looked at this, that we move forward with a compact where we would not endanger the revenue we receive from the tribes.
