NEW!! Internet cafe gambling in Florida

[luckydog]

well after being forced to shut down, the internet cafes have reopened up with bingo style games to comply with the law

849.0931 - - 2010 Florida Statutes - The Florida Senate

my son and I went today, first time for me, $3.00 to get in and get food and soda/beer free 2 drink max.

we got 2 chiledogs each and he had a beer and i had a rootbeer.

we played $7.00 each 25 cents a swipe on 3 covered lines on the touchscreens, reveal is the same as slots would be without any spinning.

after using my $7.00 I had almost $4.00 in wins, i tried some different games and eventually lost my money!!

my son hit a bonus game and won $12.50, he kept playing and wound up with $10.00 in wins, so he basically got his money back

they had $1.00 instant peel and reveal games in a vending machine, i bought 2 and lost, pictures enclosed

they have regular bingo 5 times a week

we stopped at goodwill afterwards with no luck!!

Interesting. We have a similar gambling card in California, called a scratcher. You have to scratch of a gray waxy substance that is covering your prize possibilities. If three prizes match, you win that prize.

Pachinko is so much more fun.

We had pull tab lotto tickets here (along with scratches) for years, but they seemed to have gotten rid of them this year.. They were fun because the started at just 25 cents..

Update!!

local gov't closed them all again

they have had very few customers since the changes, but, they are still fighting the gov't to reopen again.

the internet cafe sold out to someone else and now is reopened as Jack, & Jill's

they are back to the old slots on line

the parking lot is jammed with cars and lots of retired people playing online

my son and I went today, we played $20.00 and they matched $5.00, he lost all his money and i won $15.00 so I was just out $5.00

the games give a lot of free spins so your money last longer, i was getting 30, 40, and more free spins at one time

full for all, if you don't blow all your S.S. money
