Another monopoly which produced no revenue for the crown was gambling. To the official circular extending the monopoly of playing cards in the Indies, Governor Ybarra responded that people in Florida did not use them. [Note 47: Cedula to the governor 8/29/1584; Gov. Ybarra 12/26/1605] Some years later Sergeant Major Eugenio de Espinosa was granted the right to run a gambling table in the guardhouse, a monopoly he passed on to his feckless son-in-law. [Note 48: Eugenio de Espinosa n.d. and Junta de Guerra 4/1/1659. This privilege he held in common with the sergeant majors of Havana and Panama.] (Bushnell KC)
