As legislative leaders hold behind-the-scenes talks about revamping the gambling industry, Gov. Rick Scott announced a deal that will lead to the Seminole Tribe continuing to pay more than $300 million a year in casino money to the state.

The tribe would continue making the payments, which are rooted in a 2010 gambling agreement, through the 2019 legislative session. In exchange, the tribe would continue to have exclusive rights to offer games such as blackjack at its casinos and would continue to be the state’s only slot-machine operator outside of Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
