					<description><![CDATA[Rep. Jason Brodeur has again filed legislation to exempt fantasy sports play from state gambling regulation. The Sanford Republican filed his measure (HB 223) Tuesday. It comes less than a week after Sen. Dana Young filed her own fantasy sports bill (SB 374) for the 2018 Legislative Session. Brodeur had filed a similar bill last session. His latest bill says fantasy contests are &#8220;not subject to regulation by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and not subject to&#8221; the state&#8217;s gambling laws. Moreover, &#8220;all winning&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A proposed constitutional amendment aimed at limiting gambling’s expansion in the state now has more than 600,000 signatures, its backers said Monday. Voters in Charge, the political committee behind the amendment, said it&#8217;s &#8220;over halfway towards its goal of gathering 1.1 million signatures in order to reach the required number of 766,200 valid petitions to appear on the 2018 General Election ballot.&#8221; As of Monday, Division of Elections records show the “Voter Control of Gambling” amendment officially has 274,282 verified signatures. “Tens of&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sen. Dana Young has again filed a bill to exempt fantasy sports play from regulation under the state&#8217;s gambling laws. Young, a Tampa Republican, filed her measure (SB 374) Friday afternoon. She introduced similar legislation this past session. The bill for the 2018 Legislative Session would prohibit a fantasy contest operator from offering &#8220;contests based on the performances of participants in collegiate, high school, or youth athletics.&#8221; That was a concern of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), she said in a phone interview: &#8220;I thought&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An appellate court was on the verge of rejecting an appeal of a lower court&#8217;s decision that entertainment devices known as “pre-reveal” games are in fact illegal slot machines. Dockets at the 1st District Court of Appeal show that Gator Coin II—the Jacksonville company that distributes the games—was ordered to show &#8220;why this appeal should not be dismissed&#8221; because its filings weren&#8217;t in order. An attorney for the company, Bryan E. DeMaggio, responded in a 21-page court filing—including exhibits—that lawyers &#8220;inadvertently neglected&#8221;&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[State gambling regulators this week shot down a request by a South Florida gambling permitholder who wanted sell the permit and allow the next operator to build on a new location in Broward County. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation on Monday said both sales of permits and any relocation of gambling—both time-consuming processes—have to be OK&#8217;d by the department&#8217;s Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, which regulates gambling in the state. The decision further cements the state&#8217;s control over where and how gambling is&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As expected, a Tallahassee judge has entered a written order following his decision last month that he had gotten it “wrong the first time” and said games known as “pre-reveal” are in fact illegal slot machines. Circuit Judge John Cooper this week filed a &#8220;final declaratory judgment,&#8221; which allows Gator Coin II—the Jacksonville company that distributes the games—to now appeal to the 1st District Court of Appeal. In March, Cooper issued a previous judgment that “pre-reveal” games weren’t slots because players had to “press a ‘preview’ button before&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In a stunning reversal, a Tallahassee judge on Monday decided he had gotten it &#8220;wrong the first time around&#8221; and said games known as &#8220;pre-reveal&#8221; are in fact illegal slot machines.  Circuit Judge John Cooper, however, was quick to say his change of mind was not influenced by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, but rather by further argument on how pre-reveal, or &#8220;no chance,&#8221; games actually play. The Tribe&#8217;s lawyer had said that allowing the machines, which look and play like&#8230;]]></description>
