The director of Operations of Seminole Gaming, David Hoenemeyer, has published a statement while Florida fights with a growing illegal play industry. In recent months, the State has been the host of several busts and bites, eliminating illegal game rings.
As we have previously reported, Florida has had a series of cases that involve illegal gambling. More recently, a raid found 11 stores that house illegal game machines. Cape Coral Police confiscated more than $ 500k on another raid, while almost 250 machines were seized in another incursion. That is only in August.
Hoenemeyer’s statement speaks against the illegal game, particularly pointing to the ramifications that come with the game. Outside the tax problem, he states that these game houses often “take advantage of the people who do not know” of what they are really doing.
As there is no legal support for these cassines of the back room, any problem that arises around the game act cannot be easily ordered. Hoenemeyer speculates that these cassines of the back room would also be used for drug -related activity, as well as “violent criminal activity.”
A given reason for its persistence is that the application of the Law of Florida’s Law does not have the resources, which means that they are left behind. However, it is comparable to a Hydra, with Hoenemeyer stating that as soon as “an illegal game house is closed, another appears in a shopping center on the street.”
Florida has strict antiambling laws, with two allowed counties to operate slot machines and a litany of several restrictions for other types of gambling.
What game is legal in Florida?
From the Florida Gaming website, this is the legal thing in the state of Sunshine:
- Pario Mutuel Mayo in Live and Intertrack Hors and Jai-Aalai activities in licensed and condicating ducts Jai-Aalai
- Casinos game, including slots and board games, in certain Indian tribal lands
- Florida Lottery Games
- Poker and Domino played for money, but only in license cards
- Penny-Ase games, including Poker, Pinochle, Bridge, Rummy, Basket, Hearts, Domininoes and Mah-Jongg, can be played outside a card room only if the earnings of any player in a single game do not exceed $ 10 in value of $ 10
- Slotting machine games in one of the eight license Pari-Mutuel facilities located in the Miami-Dade or Broward counties
- Bingo, raffle and drawings for chance, if they comply with state law
It is not the first time that a warning of Florida’s game costumes comes out. The Florida Miccosukee tribe has had to leave recently and notice that the illicit ads that use its brand should not be followed, since the online game is illegal in the state. Readwrite also previously reported on the emergence of the illegal game in the United States, with recent studies that put it in 74% of all gambling in the country are allocated to illegal or high seas.
