The Isle challenges Seminoles' right to blackjack
OK, here we go. While the Hard Rock staff -- bartenders, dealers and the like -- will tell you June 23 is the target date for blackjack and other table games to come to their casino, The Isle has filed suit.
Our John Holland had the story in print today (the link is to the print version) and online yesterday after the suit was filed on Tuesday.
I could ask for comments here, but as usual, there are plenty on the topix portion of our web site, under his story.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
