TALLAHASSEE â A sweeping gambling deal that allows mobile sports betting anywhere in Florida neared completion Tuesday, but one big question remained: Is it legal?
On the second day of a week-long special session to ratify the agreement between the state and Seminole Tribe, a House committee and the full Senate voted to create a new state agency called the Gaming Control Commission and agreed to allow the Tribe to offer online sports betting as well as full casino games in exchange for at least $500 million a year in payments to the state for the next 30 years.

The Hippodrome 3R opening day Friday (May 7) card gets underway with a special post time of 5:30 p.m. A free race program is available at www.hippodrome3r.ca. The weather forecast for Friday is excellent, Levesque added. “Our racetrack surface is in prime shape. We have 10 races, all with full fields of eight horses, and I know that our horsepeople are ready to return to racing.
