Tribe rejects both gaming bills saying both 'don't make economic sense' for them | Tampa Bay Times

My comment:

The Florida House version is more realistic, if the State wants to increase Tribal revenue sharing; but the House is missing a valuable tourism opportunity for the State; by not adding the games of Roulette and Craps to the games allowed at Seminole Tribal casinos. Craps is an American favorite and Roulette the major game in Europe and some parts of South America. And when tourists check with the competition, in the Islands or Gulf coast; they will find these games. This discussion shouldn't just be about revenue sharing, the Tribal Chairman is correct, the Feds could have the last word; unless the Tribe gets something in exchange for a larger cut of the win.
