譯文： 　　Slot machine referendums hit the jackpot in every county they played in last year but so far the state of Florida is refusing to pay out. 　　Voters in six counties -- Brevard, Gadsden, Hamilton, Lee, Palm Beach, and Washington -- approved referendums allowing slot machine operations last year, but none of the pari-mutuels operating in those counties has applied for a slot machine license. 　　Blocking the way is a nonbinding legal opinion from Attorney General Pam Bondi,www.bozhidao.com， asserting that legislation passed in 2004 permitting slot machine referendums in Broward and Miami-Dade counties calls for explicit legislative permission for referendums for the expansion of slots throughout the rest of the state. Department of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Ken Lawson stated he would abide by the opinion and not issue new slot machines licenses outside of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. 　　Broward and Miami-Dade voters approved the slot machine referendums, and the presence of slots in those two South Florida counties is part of the Seminole Compact the state entered into with the Seminole Tribe in 2010. Some legislators have expressed concern that any expansion of slot machines outside Broward and Miami-Dade could violate the contract and lead the Seminole Tribe to cancel its annual $233 million payments to the state as part of the Compact. www.xx345.com The Compact is set to expire in 2015. 　　That leaves in limbo pari-mutuel operators -- and the legal status of slot machines in Florida -- who were counting on slots to boost their businesses. 　　去年每個縣玩老虎機投註的，都有人中瞭頭獎，但到目前為止佛羅裡達州卻拒絕支付。 　　六個縣的選民--北，加茲登，漢密爾頓，李，棕櫚海灘，和華盛頓--去年批準開展老虎機投註這項業務，但在這些pari-mutuels操作裡沒有一個是縣申請瞭老虎機許可證的。 　　在檢察官邦迪看來，阻塞的方式是不具約束力的法律意見，他主張通過立法，文章出自博之道，2004年在佈勞沃德和邁阿密戴德縣允許公民投票老虎機，要求明確立法允許公民在休息的狀態為擴大槽投票。商務和職業監管部部長肯·勞森表示，他將遵循佈勞沃德和邁阿密戴德縣的意見而不是外在新的老虎機許可證。 　　佈勞沃德和邁阿密選民批準老虎機公投，2010年並存在插槽2南佛羅裡達州縣的一部分，塞米諾爾緊湊國傢訂立與塞米諾爾部落。一些立法者稱他們關註的是，在佈勞沃德和邁阿密任何擴大老虎機的行為可能都會違反合同，導致塞米諾爾部落取消其每年緊湊支付給國傢233000000美元的一部分，緊湊的截止日期是2015年。 　　那些離開瞭監獄的彩池運營商--和在佛羅裡達州老虎機的法律地位--指望在博之道老虎機方面提高他們的業務。 Tags:周焯華,洗米華
