The Seminole Tribe is saying a recent court decision on slot machines could cause "grave financial harm" to the tribe. Lawyers for the tribe filed court papers on Tuesday.

Judges last month ordered state regulators to allow slot machines at a track in the north Florida town of Gretna. If left unchallenged, the decision could lead to slot machines in several other counties.

Attorney General Pam Bondi last week asked the entire appeals court to review the ruling that was decided on a 2-1 margin.

The Seminoles currently have an agreement with the state that allows them to operate several casinos in Florida.

An attorney representing the Gretna track said they will oppose the tribe's motion.
