Florida Slot Machine Regulations

You must understand that using a slot machine for profit or gambling purposes is illegal and could subject you to severe penalties. Before purchasing a slot machine you must understand that every state does not allow ownership of these machines. However, we suggest that you check with your local authorities. We assume no responsibility for errors. The case hinges on a 2009 law in which the Legislature modified the implementing law relating to slot machines in Miami-Dade and Broward by allowing Hialeah Park to be eligible for a slots license.

• Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in 'equity' rather than in 'law.' In English legal history, the courts of 'law' could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of 'equity' could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in 'law' cases but not in 'equity' cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
