The two pari-mutuels filed a motion Sept. The “hub and spoke” model detailed in the compact allows bets placed online or through pari-mutuel permit holders to be processed through servers located on tribal land. That is a point of contention for the Bonita Springs Poker Room and Magic City Casino. Last week , Ocala Gainesville Poker and Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co., Hialeah Park, Palm Beach Kennel Club, Tampa Bay Downs and Tampa’s TGT Poker & Racebook pari-mutuels reached marketing agreements with the tribe which allows them to take bets that will be processed through servers located on tribal land in exchange for 40% of proceeds from each bet going to the tribe. The state received its first monthly revenue sharing contribution from the Seminole Tribe in October when a $37 million payment was transmitted. The new gaming compact guarantees a minimum of $2.5 billion in revenue sharing for Florida over the first five years. The tribe, which entered into a new gaming compact that was approved by state lawmakers during a May special session, has yet to comment on Monday’s launch through spokesman Gary Bitner and hasn’t indicated when bets will be able to be placed in person at its six casinos, including the Seminole Casino Hotel in Immokalee.
