Gov. Kevin Stitt and Attorney General Mike Hunter are disagreeing about the two gambling compacts Stitt signed last week with the Comanche and Otoe-Missouria tribes.

Hunter said the governor has the right to negotiate the compacts but state law doesn’t give him the power to sign new compacts.

The agreements are not authorized by the Tribal Gaming Act, Hunter said.

“Sports betting is not a prescribed ‘covered game’ under the act,” Hunter said.

 The new Comanche compact would let that tribe build three new casinos in Chickasaw territory – including in Cleveland County near Norman and in Love County next to the Red River. The Comanches have casinos in Lawton, Devol, Elgin and Walters.
