Seminole casinos can continue offering blackjack for at least the next 14 years at the tribe’s six gambling venues in Florida.<\/p>\n
US District Judge Robert Hinkle denied the state’s request to reconsider his earlier ruling<\/a> that favored the powerful Native American group. In November, the federal justice said Florida was in the wrong in allowing racinos to offer so-called “designated player games” after reaching a compact with the Seminoles that had provided them exclusive rights to blackjack through 2015.<\/p>\n
