Home Meet Governor Crist | www.flgov.com
Gov. Crist had until 11:59 pm tonight to reach a new agreement with the Seminoles. He did, giving them unlimited slot machines in seven locations. But it also gives them blackjack and other table games in all seven casinos, which the Legislature had limited to two counties. Therefore, the new Compact is just as invalid as the last one he signed, unless the Legislature signs off on this one, to get the billions of dollars of new revenue.

Both bills favor land-based gaming companies getting into the act. But they differ on whether gaming will be limited to poker, and whether operators like PartyPoker, which pulled out of the U.S. market after the passage of the UIGEA in 2006, will be allowed back in.

Calif. Poker Bill Unveiled | igamingnews.com
Harrah's is rumored to have hired Mitch Garber, former CEO of PartyGaming (PYGFM), to head its World Series of Poker and online gaming operations. PYGFM itself settled with the federal Department of Justice, and is looking to now get back into the U.S. Rep. Barney Frank had to delay repealing the UIGEA, but the states are moving ahead with intra-state gambling, particularly poker in California. And the operators who get in on the ground floor will be in the best postion to control the entire U.S. market.
