They automatically take out federal taxes but since it’s office is based in Miami, they don’t take out any income tax.

It's possible part of your question was left off in uploading; no admiralty/maritime issue appeared here. The Louisiana Gaming Control Board might be a starting point for the non-maritime element of your post. Good luck
