More gaming in Florida?

May 02, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

The Florida legislature is considering expanding gaming and adding video lottery terminals to as many as 10 locations in an effort to raise an estimated $1 billion for the state, and the full House approved a bill Monday that would increase the number of slots at Pompano Park and Gulfstream Park from 1,500 to 2,000 machines.

 

According to a report by the Associated Press, the video lottery machines would be the same type used by Indian casinos in South Florida, not the Las Vegas-style kind in operation at Pompano Park and Gulfstream Park. Revenues raised from the video lottery machines would be used to reduce property taxes in the state.

 

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has said he would need to review the bill before deciding whether he would support it.
