Why you should care:
Florida law strictly regulates gambling, with slot machine gaming authorized only at licensed facilities. It is illegal to operate slot machines or any other gambling devices outside of these licensed facilities.
What they're saying:
"Illegal casinos are not part of regulated gaming in Florida," said Carl Herold, Director of Gaming Enforcement for the Florida Gaming Control Commission. "These operations exploit vulnerable individuals, create an uneven playing field for lawful businesses, and bring unwanted crime and disorder to the communities in which they operate."
