Head Matter:
Kamal MUCI, Appellant, v. POSADAS DE PUERTO RICO ASSOCIATES, INC., Appellee.
No. 98-0144.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
July 22, 1998.
Rehearing Denied Sept. 16, 1998.
Sidney Efronson and Sarino R. Costanzo, Miami, for appellant.
Concepcion, Sexton & Urdaneta and David A. Pearl, Coral Gables, for appellee.
Before COPE, GODERICH and SORONDO, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We conclude that section 849.29, Florida Statutes (1997), does not have effect within a foreign jurisdiction. Consequently, the trial court correctly dismissed the claim of appellant Kamal Muci, a Florida resident, against appellee Posadas De Puerto Rico Associates, Inc., for reimbursement of gambling losses sustained by Muci at appellee's casino in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Affirmed.
