I just spoke to the Hard Rock Tampa and was told that the machines
are, in fact, the Class II stud machines. You may not know, however,
that the Seminole tribe is fighting hard for Class III status even
though Bush refuses to negotiate a compact. When this will be
resolved is unknown, but keep watching.
The Hard Rock Machines in Tampa are IGT Class II. They are based on Bingo. If
you get a Bingo, you will have a winning hand. If you throw that hand out you
will get back an equal or better hand on the redraw.
Governor Jeb Bush started negotiations with the Seminole Tribe several months
ago. We are expecting a compact to be negotiated sometime early next year.
(End of Jan ?) The two difficult points in the negotiations are the amount of $
the tribe will give to the state & what the payback percentage will be for the
machines. (You would be shocked if you knew what they are now)
