Vegas Style Gambling in Florida

[Bobbie]

I heard that they were voting on class 3 gambling in FL. Does anyone know which way it went, and when and where it will be implemented first if it passes?

Will it be just in existing casinos or will more be built? What about all of the penny arcades? Will they be giving out $$?

Thanks Steve for the great website. It's very informative.

Does anyone know if Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL has gone to class 3 gaming? Do they offer good video poker yet?

The Indians are still a ways off from offering class III.

When they do, you can be sure the paytables will the worst you've ever seen.

The best VP paytable I've seen (but not played) at the racinos which do offer class III gaming was 96-97%.

They Seminoles installed Class III slots at their Hollywood casino in January, 2008.

Currently, the best paytable is 9/6 Jacks or better at $1 and up to $25.

They also have 8/5 bonus poker in the same denominations.

The best for quarter players is 8/5 Jacks.
