Calling it a “love note” to the Senate, a key House committee signed off on a sweeping gambling bill that would ratify a $3 billion agreement with the Seminole Tribe and allow pari-mutuels in at least five counties to add slot machines.
The measure, approved by the House Finance & Tax Committee on Monday, could also do away with dog racing—and most horse racing—while allowing tracks to keep operating more lucrative betting operations, such as card rooms and slots, a process known as “decoupling.”
