This is due to a new bill that has been passed by the Florida State Legislature called the sb-788 No-Limit poker gaming bill. One of the biggest places to gamble in the state is race tracks, which have now been authorized to hold No-Limit poker games. Previously the limit bets per round were set at $5, the maximum buy-ins for poker games $100, and poker tournaments set to $1,000.
Furthermore, one of the biggest changes the sb-788 bill has brought is the hours at which a card room can be open. The new bill has allows card rooms to be open 18 hours a day Monday-Friday, and twenty-four hours a day on the weekends. It has also raised the legal age limit in which a player can play from eighteen to 21 in Seminole nation casinos keeping it in line with the rest of the state.
