## Full section analysis

The Arizona Department of Gaming's Division of Racing summarily suspended Skyfall 7, LLC dba Turf Paradise's teletrack permit effective 16 October 2026, closing the on-track simulcasting and off-track wagering network this licensee operates. The stated basis is loss of property access and insufficient licensed personnel amid a landlord-tenant dispute between TP Racing, L.L.L.P. and lessee Skyfall 7, LLC, not a licensing-standards finding. A hearing is scheduled for 19 November 2026. The suspension is specific to this licensee's teletrack channel; it sits alongside a functioning event-wagering framework, under which the Arizona Department of Gaming allocated an event-wagering operator licence to Circa Sports Arizona LLC, designee for the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, in August 2026 under A.R.S. § 5-1304.
