Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida

Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida was a legal case where the Seminole Tribe challenged Florida's attempts to regulate its casino gambling operations, arguing that state laws conflicted with federal laws allowing tribal gaming. The tribe sought to protect its right to operate gambling facilities under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). The case addressed whether states could impose restrictions on tribal gaming beyond federal rules. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ruled that states could not impose certain regulations on tribal gaming activities unless state and tribal agreements explicitly allowed it, affirming federal authority over tribal gaming rights.
