Seminole Tribe releases 3rd TV spot calling for Compact renewal

A new TV ad from the Seminole Tribe of Florida says they have “met or exceeded” expectations by providing more than $1 billion in gambling revenue to fund education, support services and help control gaming.

The Tribe launched its third 30-second television ad Wednesday, airing first in Tallahassee followed by media markets across the state.

A recent statewide poll conducted for the Tribe showed that Floridians think the Seminoles have “exceeded expectations” of responsible gambling. The survey also found respondents want state lawmakers to consider actively reintroducing a provision in the Seminole Gaming Compact, signed in 2009 and set to expire July 31.

If not renewed by the Legislature, the Tribe may lose exclusive rights to conduct card games such as blackjack at seven of its casinos across Florida, which they say have created nearly 20,000 jobs.

“Exceeding Expectation” is now available on YouTube.
