The state of Florida and the Seminole tribe are talking again.

The impasse between the two parties appears to be easing following renewed talks about the tribe’s right to offer games, such as blackjack, at its casinos.

News outlet The News Service of Florida reported last Friday that negotiators from the Senate, House and Gov. Rick Scott’s office met with the tribe as recently as last week. The discussion could pave the way for a turnaround from the standoff between the two parties, with the possibility of a new deal before the deadline in October.

In 2010, the state and the tribe signed a gambling compact that gave the Seminoles exclusive rights to provide popular card games at its casinos in Broward County, Tampa, and Immokalee. In return, the tribe guaranteed $1 billion in state revenue.
