As the Halloween deadline nears on the compact between Florida and the Seminole Tribe, Gov. Rick Scott met privately with Hard Rock Casino officials Wednesday.
The multi-million dollar agreement between the two sides actually expired this summer but remains in effect until Oct. 31.
The deal allows the Hard Rock casinos in Tampa and South Florida, which are owned by the Seminole Tribe, to operate table games like blackjack, baccarat and chemin de fer in exchange for payments to the state.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, legislators spent the past few months negotiating whether to renew, amend or expand the compact, which must be signed by the governor and approved by the Legislature.
Both sides proposed several options, including increasing revenue payments to the state from $200 million to $400 million. However, no deal was struck.
Legislators remain mostly split on whether they want to renew the deal in the wake of a push to change gambling laws in the state, according to the Times.
In the last five years, the Seminole Tribe has shared more than $1 billion with the state for the exclusive rights to their casino games.
The governor's office later confirmed the meeting, also adding Gov. Scott is in no rush to reach an agreement.
