There really is another Andy Enfield out there. Or, in there. May not seem that way now, but Florida Gulf Coast University basketball didn't just have its last best March.

Sad Day: Legal Senior Arcades Fall With Internet Cafes
Submitted by Nancy Smith on April 4, 2013 - 6:04pm
What a shame to see the Internet sweepstakes cafe bill go to the governor with harmless senior arcades attached.
And why? Because the pari-mutuels want it all. Because at the eleventh hour, their lobbyists convinced gaming committee members that senior arcades were no different from Internet cafes. Presumably now, they believe, seniors will hobble into track casinos and play slot machines instead -- given that their arcades are standing empty.
This is crazy.

Anti-Gambling Florida Chamber Says Good Riddance to ‘Bad Bet’ Internet Cafes

The Florida Senate followed the Florida Houses lead Thursday, voting in favor of a ban on Internet cafes.
The bill will now go to the desk of Gov. Rick Scott, since the House approved it last week. While some senators argued that the ban would overreach and take out senior arcades with it, the bill received a vote of 36-4.
