Senate bill could pave way for Ebro slots, resort
By Katie Landeck, PCHNH
A new bill in the Florida Senate could pave the way for Ebro Greyhound Park and Poker Room to build a casino resort, a goal the company has been working toward since Washington County passed a referendum allowing slot machines in 2012.
The bill, introduced Thursday by Sen. Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, would reform state gambling laws allowing slot machines in the eight counties where they're currently allowed and change the rules for dog racing.
"They're moving in a good direction," Ebro track owner Mark Hess said.
