Default Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!

It is not only poker players that want an increse in poker limits. Many people will benefit from an increased limit and the expected increase in total rake. The state will see an increase in revenue. Local governments with a parimutuel facility within their jurisdiction will see an increase in revenue. The horsemen and dog owners will see an increse in purses and awards. How else would Derby Lane be able to run a $1,000,000 race without a percentage of the poker rake being added to purses and awards?

With many groups benefiting from an incresed poker limit and by the margins that the bill passed both houses (senate 29-10, house 77-38) I don't think Crist is considering a veto. He might let it become law without his signature but he shouldn't veto it.
