					<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[As promised, the Florida Greyhound Association is asking state gambling regulators to &#8220;reconsider&#8221; their decision to allow Miami&#8217;s Magic City Casino to discontinue live dog racing. The association filed a &#8220;motion to intervene&#8221; Tuesday. Ending racing there &#8220;will put (its) members &#8230; out of business,&#8221; the motion says. &#8220;The purpose &#8230; is to forever end greyhound racing at the track. Many members are family owned businesses that have raced greyhounds at the race track for generations.&#8221; The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which regulates gambling through&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lawyers for a North Florida racetrack have asked the state&#8217;s Supreme Court to rehear argument in a case over whether pari-mutuels can add slot machines in counties that passed referendums allowing them. Gretna Racing&#8216;s motion for rehearing was filed late Friday, court dockets show. The horse track, also known as Creek Entertainment/Gretna, is managed and operated by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. Last month, the court unanimously ruled against the track, meaning that gambling facilities in Gadsden County’s Gretna and in&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With the state Supreme Court’s decision last week striking down the possibility of a slot machine expansion, what’s next? A unanimous court ruled against pari-mutuels seeking to add slot machines in counties that passed a referendum in support of them: Brevard, Duval, Gadsden, Hamilton, Lee, Palm Beach, St. Lucie and Washington. Those concerns are holding their cards close to the vest, at least publicly. That includes bestbet in Jacksonville, which unsuccessfully applied to the state for a slots license. Spokesman&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A unanimous Florida Supreme Court has ruled against a North Florida racetrack seeking to add slot machines. The 20-page decision, released Thursday, means that gambling facilities in Gadsden County&#8217;s Gretna and in seven other counties that passed local referendums allowing slots also will not be able to offer them. In doing so, the court upheld a decision by the 1st District Court of Appeal that agreed with state gambling regulators who denied the track a slots permit. In sum, the&#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[Gov. Rick Scott says he doesn&#8217;t understand lawmakers&#8217; inability to pass comprehensive gambling legislation this year—especially when he gave them a head start. Scott spoke with FloridaPolitics.com reporter Jenna Buzzacco-Foerster in Naples Thursday, after a stop of his “Fighting For Florida’s Future” tour. Part of the legislative package was a deal negotiated by Scott with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, guaranteeing continued exclusive rights to blackjack in return for a $3 billion cut of gambling revenue over seven years. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand&#8230;]]></description>
