Poker Rooms in Florida
Florida is one of America's premier live poker destinations, ranking alongside Nevada and California for volume and quality of action. The Seminole Hard Rock properties in Hollywood and Tampa draw international poker tourists, while parimutuel cardrooms like bestbet Jacksonville (70 tables) and Palm Beach Kennel Club anchor the state-licensed market. With over 700 tables spread across 31 licensed venues, Florida offers action at every stake level around the clock.
Legal Framework
Florida law permits cardrooms at licensed pari-mutuel facilities (horse tracks, dog tracks, jai alai frontons) under Florida Statute 849.086, enacted in 1996. Only pari-mutuel operators holding an active operating license may run a cardroom. Separately, the Seminole Tribe of Florida operates under a federal compact authorizing banked card games including poker at six tribal casinos. The Miccosukee Tribe operates one additional casino near Miami.
