Judge pushes Florida gaming tribal back to October
The trial was initially scheduled for this summer but attorneys for the state and the tribe asked for the delay.
The tribe filed the lawsuit last year after key portions of a 5-year gambling deal with the state expired. A proposed US$ 3bn deal to expand the gaming industry across Florida collapsed earlier this month after being rejected by state legislators. The deal died after the Florida House failed to consider a major gaming bill that would allowed the Seminole Tribe to add craps and roulette at their existing casinos.
Negotiated between Florida Governor Rick Scott and Seminole last year , the bill would have also allowed slot machines to be added at existing dog and horse tracks across the state, as well as a new casino to open in Miami-Dade.
The failure of the Legislature to approve the deal let the future of gaming to be decided by the courts. The Seminoles and the state of Florida have both filed federal lawsuits because a previous 2010 deal allowing blackjack tables expired last year.
Florida Supreme Court also agreed to consider a lawsuit that argues slot machines should be allowed at an existing track 25 miles west of Tallahassee.
