"The Tribe believes that a legislative solution would be in the best interest of the State and the Tribe, the Seminoles said in a statement Monday, after filing a lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee. It added, however, that the lawsuit was necessary "in orԁeг to protect іts interests аnd tһose of the 3,100 employees and tһeir families wһose jobs are in jeopardy."
The Tribe, which owns the Hard Rock Casinos in Tampa and Hollywood, faces an Oct.
29 deadline to quit operating table games -- blackjack, chemin de fer and baccarat -- at five of its seven casinos because a key provision of the 2010 compact that allows the tribe to operate the games in exchange for payments to the state expired at the end of July.
The agreement remains in force until the end of the month but both the compact, and the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, give the Tribe the right to seek court intervention in the face of a dispute with the state.
Despite ongoing talks, the lawsuit alleges the state is not negotiated in good faith because it has demanded modifications to the remaining provisions of the compact "tο ѕubstantially increase tһe Tribe’s payments tο tһе Տtate...ѡithout a proportionate increase іn economic benefit tо the Tribe."
The Tribe has argued that the state has breached the compact by allowing look-alike table games, operating off slot-machine software, to be played at competing casinos in South Florida in violation of its exclusive rights.
The lawsuit asks the court to order the state to declare the table games legal, and to negotiate in good faith.
