A federal judge has thumbed down a Northwest Florida pari-mutuel’s appeal to overturn a decision allowing the Seminole tribe to continue offering “banked” card games, such as blackjack, at most of its casinos.

The Naples Herald reported that U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle threw out the petition filed by Gretna Racing in Gadsen County, which earlier asked the judge to reconsider his decision “that puts the small facility and its operators at risk.”

Gretna was referring to Hinkle’s decision on the legal battle between the Seminole Tribe and the state about gambling at tribal casinos last year.

In rejecting the appeal, Hinkle pointed out that Gretna had no right to intervene in the case.
