The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has opened a new office dedicated to regulating slot machines within the state. There will eventually be several offices, but the first one has just opened in Hallandale Beach. The state is hoping that by being on top of the slot machines that they will keep the illegal element out, that is often found in this type of gambling.  

Gulfstream Park is the home for the new office, and the team has been specially trained as to what to look out for. Their job is to ensure the integrity of the games and the millions of dollars that will find their way into the state’s pockets. Voters have approved the use of slot machines in each of four Broward County locations, and the team trained with other states that have already been through this. Governor Jeb Bush says he is confident that Florida’s slot machines will be safe and secure.
