It’s unlikely the Seminole Indians can accept the Legislature’s proposal to expand gaming at their Florida casinos in its current form, a tribal lawyer said during mid-June, but he remained confident a deal with the state can be struck.
Barry Richard, an attorney for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, said he doesn’t believe a proposed compact included in a bill (SB 788) awaiting Gov. Charlie Crist’s signature complies with federal law governing native American gaming.
