Florida Casinos Get Around Roulette Ban

Tuesday, 15 May 2012 | by Pat's Picks

Several South Florida casinos are getting a new game that looks like roulette, sounds like roulette, and “may even smell like roulette,” says the Sun Sentinel—but don’t call it roulette. Roulette is illegal in the state so casino operators are installing a semi-automatic version with a random-number generator that determines the speed of the ball and the wheel, instead of leaving it up to the dealer, which, in the eyes of the law, makes it a slot machine.
