After weeks of discussion, negotiations for a possible expansion of the US state of Florida’s gambling industry have been unsuccessful.
Both the House and Senate had passed gambling bills, but the two bills were very different, necessitating a conference between six House and six Senate members to negotiate a gambling deal.
The Senate called for any county whose voters have approved slots to be allowed to have them at pari-mutuels within the county. Palm Beach County and seven others have done so.
However, House wanted no new slots outside of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, where they are already legal.
