Florida’s freeze on gaming moves a step closer

Florida’s freeze on gaming has moved a step closer with the House Ways and Means Committee’s voting in favour of the legislation by 11 to 7 which would maintain the status quo on gaming in the state for two decades.Te bill would see Florida Governor Rick Scott to renew the contract with the Seminole Tribe who operates the Hard Rock Casinos located in Hollywood and Tampa, as well as four other casinos in Florida. Te tribes will retain exclusive rights to offer blackjack at five casinos in return for $3bn to be paid over a period of seven years.

Mr. LaRosa said the bill was ‘straightforward’ and provided stability for the state’s gambling industry which he described a being ‘in disarray for the past few years.’ “Te bill provides much needed certainty and predictability for years to come,” Mr. LaRosa explained.Te House bill is supported by the No Casinos anti-gambling group, the Florida Toroughbred Breeders Association and the Florida Greyhound Association.
However, despite the bill being voted in by the House Ways and Means Committee it was opposed by the Democratics, who want to offer horse and dog tracks more gaming options, so there is no guarantee of a compromise between the House and Te Senate. Te Seminole’s are also not fully onboard as their minimum payment would go from about $250m a year to at least $325m.
US
Texas, the second largest state in the United States, and Illinois, the sixth most populous, are both looking at the economic benefits of introducing casino gaming with new bills. Chicago is in the running to get its first ever casino as part of a proposal to expand gambling in Illinois that would see new casinos in six locations. Casino licenses would also be introduced in the north in Lake County, in the south in Rockford, in the east in Danville and in the south in Williamson County. Te legislation would also allow existing casinos to expand their offer by adding 400 gaming positions and allowing four horse racing tracks to add slot machines along with Chicago airports. Democratic Senator Terry Link of Waukegan, sponsor of bill SB7, believes setting up the industry in this manner would generate almost $1bn in start up fees.

US – MGM Resorts is believed to be in discussions to buy Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem from Las Vegas Sands. MGM has been expanding the company's footprint in the East. The operator has recently opened MGM National Harbor in Maryland and is building another in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is also a partner in the Borgata, Atlantic City's top earning casino. It also own casinos in Las Vegas, Mississippi and Detroit.
Buying the Bethlehem casino would give it a foothold in what has become the second top revenue earning casino state in the US. Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board spokesman Richard McGarvey confirmed some discussions were in place but could not confirm who the suitor was until the board had received an official filing.
MGM stated: "We have no comment on this or any other merger and acquisition activity.” "Las Vegas Sands is regularly approached about potential interest in various assets. The company has no announcement to make at this time," said Ron Reese, Las Vegas Sands spokesman. "As always, we thank our dedicated team members for their hard work and professionalism."
