Gambling Deal in Florida is Nearing

The Governor of Florida is close to a deal with the Seminole Tribe to allow them to open casinos in Florida. The representatives from the state said that they may need legislature approval before anything can be concrete but a lawyer for the Seminole Tribe said this is not the case. It is not clear at this time who is right but it does look like Casinos in Florida is likely to happen.

The Seminole Tribe is currently working out the details on what casino games they will be allowed to offer their visitors. They would like to offer Vegas style slot machines, blackjack and other card games. They have agreed that they will not try to seek approval of roulette and craps. This deal will be very lucrative for Florida as they will receive $50 million right away and potentially $100 million dollars a year after that.
