The Tampa Tribune ran a story today saying how well Florida Casinos are doing. I would have to agree, I have yet to see a Blackjack table with a minimum under $50. I don't know where the money is coming from, probably from credit cards, but the tables are full non the less. Vegas casinos on the other hand seem to be taking a bit of a hit these days but what you need to consider is that the high rollers usually come out of market situations like this with very large profits. So I don't see them struggling to much in the future.
