Immokalee casino gets slots soon

FLORIDA -- As reported by the Naples Daily News: "The Seminole Casino Immokalee will be making the "first pull" on new Vegas-style slots machines in two weeks.

"Seminole Tribe spokesman Gary Bitner said the Immokalee casino will introduce hundreds of new machines on June 5.

"The switch will bring more games and more profits, for both the players and the casino.

"...Gov. Charlie Crist and Seminole Tribe leaders signed a compact allowing Class III Vegas-style gaming, including slots, blackjack and baccarat. The agreement, which went into effect earlier this year, has been challenged by state lawmakers who say they must approve any agreement Crist negotiates.

"Bitner said blackjack will be introduced at the Hollywood facility at the end of June. He doesn't expect Immokalee to get table games until the end of this year or the beginning of next year..."
