					<description><![CDATA[Ed. Note — Story was updated Tuesday with comment from Pensacola track spokeswoman. State gambling regulators have filed administrative complaints against two racetracks in recent weeks, alleging that they&#8217;ve been offering illegal card games. One complaint was lodged Aug. 17 against Pensacola Greyhound Track &#38; Poker Room, and another was filed last Thursday against the Sarasota Kennel Club, both of which offer varieties of poker. The complaints, however, filed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)&#8216;s Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, say&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Seminole Tribe of Florida has given the state of Florida another multi-million dollar payday. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation reported that the tribe paid $19.5 million in gambling revenue share on Monday. The department regulates gambling. That money includes revenue share from banked card games, specifically blackjack. The tribe also offers slots. It has Vegas-style and other gambling at seven casinos around the state, including Tampa&#8217;s Hard Rock Hotel &#38; Casino, but has blackjack only in Tampa and Hollywood. Monday&#8217;s deposit brings the total amount paid by the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A federal judge on Wednesday ruled the Seminole Tribe of Florida can continue to offer blackjack and other &#8220;banked card games&#8221; to its Hard Rock Casino customers in the state. In a 36-page opinion, Senior U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle said the state had broken an exclusivity deal with the tribe, part of what&#8217;s called the 2010 Seminole Compact, allowing it to keep its blackjack tables until 2030. &#8220;The order declares that the exception has been triggered — that the tribe may&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A type of wildly popular poker-type card game is now banned as it is currently played in Jacksonville, according to a final decision issued this week by the state&#8217;s Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), which regulates gambling. The department&#8217;s order, issued Wednesday and filed Friday with the Division of Administrative Hearings, specifically finds against designated-player games offered at the bestbet Jacksonville poker room and levies a $4,500 fine against it. DBPR adopted an Aug. 1 recommended order from an administrative law judge. The effect of the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The same state agency now calling designated-player card games illegal was calling them &#8220;in compliance&#8221; with state gambling law as recently as last July, records show. What&#8217;s not clear is what caused the about-face. The enforcement is happening at the same time that lawmakers are considering whether to approve a new “compact” with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, whose casinos compete with tracks in South Florida and elsewhere that also offer cards and slots.

The consensus, now that the deal has expired: no one is really sure. The economists, like the rest of state government, are navigating unchartered territory.
