The House voted on a scaled back version of the Seminole Gaming Compact Friday.
Their plan would limit the tribe’s expansion to Vegas style slots only. The Seminoles already offer slots and Blackjack. The Senate’s version would allow the tribe to expand beyond those games. Despite the drastic differences House Committee Chairman Bill Galvano said he thinks the two chambers can reach an agreement.
“I’ve been in this process seven years now and I’ve seen us further apart on issues and able to come together. If we didn’t there was that opportunity we wouldn’t have had this meeting this morning,” said Galvano.
