Setting up a casino in Florida is no easy matter. If the land where the casino is to be located is not Indian tribal land, there's a whole host of hoops to include a requirement for county (or city) approval for the gambling establishment.

We just went through that in Sumter County with the quarter-horse track that was voted down. It would seem doubtful that anyone would invest the necessary time and capital for a casino which, based on the most recent attempt to bring legalized gambling to Sumter County, is going to be tossed by the voters.

Casino? Pardon the pun, but don't bet one it!
