You must have enough money to burn a wet mule. Don't forget in a few weeks that there will be poker tables too.

If that's the case, then I'm really going to have to knock off a 7-11 before I get to Tampa...............

Wally Hennessy is the king at Pompano or at least he used to be.

Let's not forget at the Hard Rock casino either.

Bob's post in the luck thread made me think of this. I know there will be wagering on Horses, Golf, Dogs, midget tos...I mean poker, but is their a jai-alai option available there as well?

I know we pass a sign for a Jai-alai fronton every time we drive through Ocala on the way to TBD (http://www.jai-alai.info/ocala-jai-alai.html). Needless to say (I think it's needless), we have never stopped. There is also one in Orlando.

The one and only time I have witnessed live Jai-alai was in 1982 in Bridgeport CT. That was enough for me

If there were no other entertainment (ie gambling) options, perhaps, but I must admit to have no understanding of how the game works from a gambling perspective.

I know that it will come as no shock, but I have spent many an hour in the Ocala Fronton. Alas, the Tampa Jai Alai Fronton is now a shiny Home Depot (closed in '94).

There is most certainly Jai Alai simulcasting from So. FL. if you get the urge Math.
