Just some information on what I thought was a casino in mid Florida.
Casino's are legal here only on Indian land. The casino cruise we take out of Cape Canaveral only allows gambling once we're out in international waters. The so-called casino in mid Florida is not a casino at all but an internet business that has discovered a way to skirt the casino laws here.
The building is in a strip mall with computers lining each side of the store. You are given an ID card which you can take to a machine where you load it with credits ($20 gives you 2000 penny credits). You then go to one of the computers and slide your card in. This buys you minutes on the internet or credits on casino type games. Once your money is transferred to the computer you can't get it back. What you can cash in are credits you win.
It's an interesting way of getting around the laws and I'm wondering how long before it's closed down. There aren't many games to choose from but they look much like slot machine games.
We spent a few hours there and I was the big loser. Surprise, surprise! The good news is that it wasn't a lot of money. This is a place I'd go back to but not often. I love the bells and whistles at a real casino and this place was just too tame.
