Miami real estate values may once again increase, as gaming becomes a real possibility in Miami-Dade County. Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, and state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, will file gaming bills this month, according to a report in the Miami Herald last week.
The gaming bills will ask for permission to build three large resort casinos in the Miami area, and will seek a gambling commission for Florida, according to the Miami Herald report. Gaming licenses, which are presently housed under the DPR (Department of Business and Professional Regulation), will most likely be treated as a unique industry which would be regulated separately from other types of state licensing.
Genting Malaysia, a multibillion dollar casino group, may not take kindly to the idea of regulation changes, in light of their plans to build a $3 billion hotel casino facility in Miami. In addition, one cannot overlook a pending court case, where the issue in question is whether or not gaming legislation must come through a state constitutional amendment.
If gaming does come to Miami, real estate prices are sure to climb substantially, with an influx of new homeowners from all over the US, and from all over the world. Miami is well known as one of the worlds truly international cities.
