Question for the parimutuel experts

Since it looks like the VLT's stand a good chance of getting in
down in South FL, makes me wonder what could happen if eventually
that were expanded to the whole state. Might we see small frontons
pop up so they could offer VLT's too? Some people think this is
part of the reason for Hamilton being built. Question is where
could this possibly happen? What are the rules on how far away
you have to be from another fronton or parimutuel? And since Ocala
is trying to convert their jai-alai license to horses, does that
mean another fronton could be built there? What about places like
Pensacola where you have tourists plus a draw from bordering states?
Also..Alabama has greyhounds - do they allow VLT's? Could there
be a jai-alai fronton there someday?
