Exactly what happened here in Florida. The number one contributor to the anti-slots campaign? The Seminole and Miccosukee Indians. Why didn't they want the pari-mutuel tracks and frontons to get slots? Because they already had them and had the market cornered. So they funded all of these ads that told the TV watching public how awful gambling was, how it was going to leave them all broke and bring the "criminal element" to your neighborhoods. All the while, they are raking in
through their own slots.
Now, since Dade and Broward Co. have slots (and they lost their monopoly), they want full table games, so they have been stumping in Tallahassee telling everyone within earshot how great they are for the community and how many thousands of jobs the table games will create.
