Poker, the compact, racinos and Wall Street are among the topics on the table at the fifth annual Florida Gaming Summit Monday and Tuesday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Seminole Gaming CEO James F. Allen will be the keynote speaker. Other topics include an analysis of Florida gaming from Wall Street's perspective, a review of slot machine performance and expectations in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, a discussion of tribal gaming and an overview of the political and legal issues currently impacting the Florida gaming industry. (They use the word "gaming" in the industry; our paper uses "gambling" to stop it from being confused with video-gaming, and to conform with AP Style.)

Isle of Capri President and CEO Virginia McDowell will give the keynote luncheon address.

The popularity of poker and the rise of table games is another topic, and will feature Joseph Coffey, Owner of Ocala Poker; Greg Karan, General Manager of the Palm Beach Princess Casino; Sam Minutello, Director of Poker Room Operations for Sarasota Kennel Club; and Paul Mollo, Director of Casino Administration for Seminole Gaming. They will review how poker has impacted parimutuel facilities over the past decade and explore the expanding role table games will have in Florida's gaming future.
