Top Republican lawmakers said the proposed Class III gaming compact with the Seminole Tribe won't be approved by the Florida Legislature.

Republicans say the deal cuts out non-Indian racetracks. Some of them want voters to open up the entire state to gaming.

"We can compete head on with the tribe," Rep. Alan Hays (R) said at a hearing on Monday, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. "We need to say absolutely no to this compact ; period."

The tribe is expected to contribute $811.7 million by fiscal year 2013 under the proposed compact. Without a deal, the tribe won't have to share revenues.
