Default If the Indian casinos in FL don\'t have to follow the laws...

than why weren't they spreading 20-40 5 years ago. Seriously, If they don't have to follow the law, why did they wait until now to spread higher stakes games?

It's not that they're disregarding the law. They're just talking the most liberal interpretation, since the legislative history has no bearing on their quasi-sovereign legal situation.

They are using the wording of the bill, "However, a cardroom operator may conduct games of Texas Hold-em without a betting limit if the required player buy-in is no more than $100." to their advantage.

Basically, it can be read that the minimum buy-in is $100 and there is no maximum bet.

The 'Noles must go by the law, but they read it to say that big games can be spread, and since they don't need the state to sign off on how they read it, 'cause they're 'Noles, they can pull it off. They just had to have the state pass a law this vague (is that word too big? look it up) for them to have the chance to spread games this big.

They do not have to go by the law. But what they're doing is talking out of both sides of their mouth. They are saying that they are abiding by the law in a spirit of cooperation whilst negotiating a Class III gaming pact. But they're stretching the language of the law to some pretty bizarre extremes.

Why worry about what the FL laws were years ago?

The time in Florida is now!
