Default Re: Florida High stakes poker and blackjack look good

I think the 1st two responders need a little more info than what WTSP 10 serves up. The Bureau of Indian Affairs might have a big say it what happens to poker in Florida if an agreement between Florida and the Seminoles isn’t finalized soon.

If the State of Florida can't come to an agreement before Nov 15 with the Seminoles then the BIA will issue a secretarial procedure that "would limit the tribe to Las Vegas-style slots and perhaps enhanced poker gambling."

There would be no compact with the state and there would be none of the poker room hours of operation limitations that would have been in the compact agreement.

The secretarial procedure would mean no blackjack, no baccarat and no taxes or fees paid to the state from the Seminole gaming revenue.
