Florida Eying a New Deal on Seminole's Compact

The Sun-Sentinel.com reports this week that the Florida legislature is ready to roll out a bill that would strip the Seminole Tribe of the right to offer card games – baccarat and blackjack -- at its casino. The tribe negotiated a compact with the state just two years ago and any tinkering with it could change the financial terms – the Seminoles had agreed to pay the state $100,000 a year for the next 25 years, based in part on the tribe’s ability to offer blackjack at its casino.

    No surprize there!! Always wanting a bigger slice of the pie. I hope the Seminoles don't give them any more. They have been doing great with out the State of Florida in thier business.
