The last paragraph may affect offshore in Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Seminole Tribe would be able to operate sports betting and add roulette and craps to its casinos and Florida would potentially receive $20 billion over the next 30 years, under legislation signed by the governor Tuesday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis had worked out the gambling compact with the tribe last month, and the Florida House and Senate approved the deal last week. It still needs to be approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior, which oversees tribal gambling operations, and even lawmakers supporting the deal expect legal challenges.

Democrats opposing the bill have argued that the compact violates Amendment 3 passed by voters in 2018. The amendment to the state constitution prevents the expansion of gambling outside of tribal lands without voter approval. Opponents questioned whether the compact will survive a legal challenge.

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law that barred states from authorizing sports betting. Since then, about a dozen states have legalized the activity, with more states poised to enact similar laws.


Under the agreement, the Seminoles could begin sports betting Oct. 15 and sports wagering at horse tracks, jai alai frontons and former dog tracks for a share of the income. Online sports betting operated by the tribe also would be allowed.

Critics of the compact assert that it violates the state constitution, partly because bets on sports can be made off tribal land. Supporters argued that because the servers that process bets would be located on property owned by the Seminole Tribe, it would be legal.

Florida’s original compact with the Seminoles gave the tribe exclusive rights to slot machines and blackjack. In exchange, the tribe paid the state several billion dollars. Payments stopped in 2019.

DeSantis also signed a bill Tuesday that will create a gaming commission to regulate pari-mutuels and investigate illegal gambling in the state.

The problem is this....

2-3 years ago, there was an amendment on the ballot in Florida that Disney World, for selfish & personal reasons, tricked the public into voting for.

It says there can be no gambling expansion in the state unless voters approve it.

Therefore, we have a bunch of idiots here in Florida who are going to fight this.

I say idiots because they are clueless to facts and don't even know or comprehend the one single reason that they should not be against it:

That money is leaving not only the state, but the country, every single day, all day, and it would benefit Florida immensely by just leaving what the governor & Seminoles have agreed to, alone.

What is it with giving the Tribes so much control over gambling?

I suppose it's a matter of time before we finally get someone to budge here in CA.

But just like California, these things get squashed in the legislature.

Sounds like the Florida governor is trying to go around the legislature here.

The current governor (Possibly top in the country) is trying to make the best of the mess former governor Rick Scott made

I feel for you guys, we're in the same boat and anything that's been drafted by lawmakers gets killed here in California, DOA in the legislature.

Fukkin shady deals going up high.

The Indians have a way of getting what they want and with the mobile betting servers on Indian land they may very well get a win here. Desantis seems hell bent on doing this and he may get it done. He sure is acting like he is sure it’s going to get done.
