MISSION: Efficient, effective, and fair regulation of authorized gaming at pari-mutuel facilities.

VISION: To enhance and increase the utilization of state-of-the-art technological capabilities to better serve the public, simplify and expedite the licensure process, and ensure compliance with the pari-mutuel laws and rules pursuant to Chapters 550, 551, and Section 849.086, Florida Statutes.

These responsibilities are carried out through four functional areas within the division: The Office of Field Operations, the Office of Slot Operations, the Office of Auditing, and the Office of Investigations.

The division currently regulates:

•   3  thoroughbred racing tracks
•   1  harness racing track
• 16  greyhound racing tracks
•   6  jai alai frontons
• 21  cardrooms located at various pari-mutuel facilities
• slot machines located at 3 Broward County pari-mutuel facilities

Some pari-mutuel facilities are jointly operated under more than one pari-mutuel permit.

The division has no authority to regulate the following:

• Lottery — Contact the Florida Lottery at www.flalottery.com
• Bingo — Counties that allow bingo have their own individual ordinances which govern their operation. Contact the local State Attorney's Office for the county in which you are requesting information about bingo.
• Indian Gaming — Indian gaming casinos are on Indian land, which falls within Federal jurisdiction. For more information contact the Indian Gaming Commission at the United States Department of Interior at 1441 L Street N.W., Suite 9100, Washington, D.C. 20005-3584, (202) 632-7003.
• "Cruises to Nowhere" — These cruises traditionally dock in a Florida port, but conduct their operations at sea, outside the boundaries of Florida, and are therefore not regulated by the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering.
