The first bet in NW was accepted at the Santa Ana Casino owned by the Pueblo of Santa Ana back in October 2018. You can bet at any of the five locations, but their numbers may be increasing as the state has no fewer than 28 tribal casinos that may be itching to enter the sports betting market themselves. That is precisely what is happening in New Mexico, with at least five tribal casinos today accepting sports wagers.
While a formal piece of legislation has not been passed to allow sports betting to launch in full, there is actually no state law that prohibits tribal casinos from accepting sports wagers. If you live in New Mexico, you will be happy to know that you can place wagers on popular sports within the state’s borders and in person.
