In a change of events which could see either the end of gambling in Florida or the beginning of a new age of high-stakes and busy poker tourism. Florida governors want to pass a new legislation. The Senate wants an overhaul where the minimum age is lowered and the stakes raised. The Florida Senate is trying to pass legislation that will change the and poker landscape in the ‘Sunshine State’ forever.

No more 100 dollar maximum no-limit tables, no more 500 dollar maximum tournament buy-in, if the proposals make it through. In their place will be increased buy-ins, increased table limits, thousands more slot machines, more game choice and a predicted 1billion dollars extra in annual state revenues. There are also plans to lower the legal gambling age of Florida residents from 21 to 18. The lifting of limits would also lure the World Poker Tour to the sunny Florida shoreline. But there are clouds on the horizon and the legislation is not certain. The Florida senate is up against the Florida House of Representatives.
