Secret mini-casinos popping up in Florida


Business Week has an article on the Sweepstakes Internet cafes that are popping up in strip centers across the state.

First-time customers must sign a “sweepstakes entry” form, which includes a clause stating: “I am not gambling.”

Each game allows customers to wager sweepstakes entries, ranging from a minimum of 25 to a maximum of 650 (the equivalent of $6.50). The more you wager, the more you can win.
