Voters want a say on the expansion of gaming, according to a poll released by No Casinos in Florida.

Some 73 percent of likely voters support a constitutional amendment that requires an expansion of gaming to be put to a statewide referendum, according to the poll. Three-quarters also said more gaming won't improve their lives.

The poll didn't ask any direct questions about tribal gaming. The Seminole Tribe operates several casinos and is negotiating an extension of its Class III gaming compact.
