"The Tribe believes that a legislative solution would be in the best interest of the State and the Tribe, the Seminoles said in a statement Monday, after filing a lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee. It added, however, that the lawsuit was necessary "in order tߋ protect іts interestѕ and tһose of the 3,100 employees аnd their families wһose jobs aгe іn jeopardy."

The Tribe, which owns the Hard Rock Casinos in Tampa and Hollywood, faces an Oct.

29 deadline to quit operating table games -- blackjack, chemin de fer and baccarat -- at five of its seven casinos because a key provision of the 2010 compact that allows the tribe to operate the games in exchange for payments to the state expired at the end of July.

The agreement remains in force until the end of the month but both the compact, and the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, give the Tribe the right to seek court intervention in the face of a dispute with the state.
