Maybe I'm not knowleged on this subject but I do not see how gambling at slot machines is any different than gambling at a card table, playing the lottery, etc. I don't understand why the Florida Legislature is making it such a big deal. Do the Legislators have some kind of personal or vested interest in the gaming interests of the Seminole Tribe? Because I sincerely believe there is enough interest in gambling to support the Seminole Tribe and the State of Florida. I think it's unfair to allow slot machines in South Florida and not North Florida! Tons of Florida residents cross the state line daily to play the slots gamble in Mississippi. Gadsden County residents voted for the Casino, including slots. Allowing slots at the Casino in Gadsden County would most likely keep the Florida residents gambling within Florida and would not only add to Florida's revenue but would greatly enhance the impoverish Gadsden County. I appeal to the Florida legislators to, please, carefully consider your decision and approve HB 111. Thank you!
