Slot Machine Payback Percentages at Florida Casinos
Though Native American casinos in Florida are not required to share payback percentages on any gaming machines, other casinos in Florida are required to do so. Click this link to see a full list of slot machine payback statistics at Florida casinos.
Native American Casinos in Florida
Florida has eight Indian casinos located on Native American reservations. Six Florida casinos are owned by the Seminole Tribe, and two are owned by the Miccosukee Tribe.
The state of Florida and the Seminole Tribe signed a compact that allows their casinos to offer traditional Class III gaming machines. Part of their compact states that five Seminole casinos are also allowed to offer baccarat, mini-baccarat, blackjack, craps, roulette, let it ride, three card poker, pai gow poker and some other novelty table games, such as war. All Seminole casinos are also allowed to offer sports betting.
On the other hand, the Miccosukee Tribe has not signed a compact with the state. This allows them to only offer Class II gaming machines at their casinos. Class II video gaming devices have the appearance of slot machines, but in reality, are bingo games. The spinning reels on Class II gaming devices are for entertainment purposes only. Florida state gaming does not require Native American casinos to make the payback percentages on any gaming machines public.
Other games offered in Floridian Native American casinos are: poker, video pull tabs, and high-stakes bingo. All of the Florida casinos are open 24 hours and all casinos offer bingo, except for both of the Seminole Hard Rock Casinos, and the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. The minimum gambling age for poker and bingo is 18, and 21 for electronic gaming machines, as well as for table games.
Pari-Mutuel Casinos in Florida
Florida is home to eight pari-mutuel casinos, four of these are located in Broward County. In 2005 voters passed a referendum to allow slot machines in the Broward county pari-mutuel casinos. Later in 2008 voters passed a similar referendum permitting slot machines at four pari-mutual locations in Miami-Dade County.
Most pari-mutuels throughout the state of Florida (and all the South Florida’s pari-mutuel facilities), offer live table poker. There is no admission charge and all of these casinos are allowed to be open a maximum of 18 hours a day during the week, and 24 hours a day on the weekends (and some holidays).
Keep in mind, gaming regulations in Florida do not allow pari-mutuel casinos to provide free alcoholic beverages to their guests.
The minimum gambling age is 18 for pari-mutuel betting and poker, and the minimum gambling age for gaming machines is 21.
Casino Boats in Florida
Florida casino boats let gamblers board the ships and set sail to international waters, where gambling is legal. West coast boats travel more than nine miles out into the Gulf of Mexico. East coast boats travel more than three miles out into the Atlantic Ocean.
All Florida casino boats offer such games as: slots, craps, blackjack, roulette, and video poker. Some casino boats also offer: poker, three-card poker, pai gow poker, Caribbean stud poker, mini-baccarat, big 6 wheel, bingo, let it ride, and sportsbook.
The minimum drinking age on all Florida casino boats is 21. Keep in mind to board the boat you must present a valid photo ID
