Card games in Casinos
TALLAHASSEE — This could be a lucky year for owners of dog tracks, horse tracks and even Miami's resort casino promoters.
The state's budget outlook is so good that Florida legislative leaders have suggested they might not renew a key provision of the gambling agreement — known as the compact — between the state and the Seminole Tribe that allows the tribe to run blackjack tables and other banked card games at its casinos.

Florida parimutuels and "destination resort" casinos have argued that expanding their businesses would be a better deal for the state than extending the tribe's monopoly.
The tribe, by contrast, has argued that it can guarantee millions of dollars each year, but only if the state gives them something valuable — like exclusive games — in return.

Rebecca,
The Class II games you played in OK in the past are no more, according to my source in OK. All machines in OK are now Class III, the kind you find in Las Vegas. You just can't call them "slot machines." This is very recent, within the last month that the last of Class II were removed from OK casino floors.
The games that you had been playing indeed were linking to a central server, which served the entire state of OK. So, the "bingo game" you played was played against other players throughout the state. Your logic was correct: the fewer people playing, the better odds of winn…
