The results of the investigation come as legislators in the Florida State Senate are considering a proposed measure that would expand gambling and renegotiate the state’s stalled compact with the casino-operating Seminole Tribe Of Florida.
Known as Senate Bill 8, the legislation would license a pair of new slots-only casinos for Miami-Dade County and Broward County while permitting existing gambling facilities in the two counties to offer up to 25 blackjack tables.
In addition, the proposed legislation from Florida State Senator Bill Galvano would allow slots to be licensed at facilities in eight counties from January while reducing the state-wide tax rate on the machines by 10% to 25%.
However, the "No Casinos In Florida” poll, which was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling And Research Incorporated from February 24 to 28 and involved surveying some 624 registered voters via telephone, reportedly discovered that only 8% of Floridians felt that there was not enough casino gambling in the state while 46% saw the current offering as sufficient.
