TALLAHASSEE, FLA. -- The Florida Supreme Court ruled Friday to let stand a ruling from a lower court in the battle over slot machines at a Hialeah race track.
Friday's ruling, which upheld a 2009 law that allows the slot machines at the track, not only ends a long legal battle in south Florida, but it also may clear the way for slot machines to be added elsewhere in the state.
The law had permitted the slot machines at the Hialeah track, even though the facility had been excluded from an earlier state constitutional amendment that permitted the gaming machines at other south Florida pari-mutuel facilities.
The court, by a margin of 5-7, dismissed the case against the Hialeah rack in a one-page ruling.
