Because Florida relies very heavily on its tourism heavily for both job creation and revenue, Governor Scott saw it prudent to continue his jobs tour across the state and meet with local business leaders aboard Royal Carribbean Cruiselines’ ‘Navigator of the Seas’ in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The gaming industry has long wanted to ‘flush’ its bets into Florida, but the industry has met resistance from concerned citizens and legislators who have voiced their concerns about the social ‘cons’ that gambling brings with it. As it stands right now, only the Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida operates casino gambling on its reservations.
Here is Governor-elect Scott expressing his views on the expansion of gambling in the state.
