Had a conversation yesterday with the poker room manager of one of the parimutuels (he asked me not to identify him here). He said the only legislation he knows of has to deal with blackjack and has nothing to do with poker.

He said it's a move to try to keep the momentum going in Broward County now that they're adding Class III slots. The reason he didn't want me to ID him is that he said he seriously doubts it will go anywhere in this legislative session, where everyone is focused on property tax reform and insurance legislation.

As far increasing poker stakes, he said it's not something that anyone is pushing for. He said he doesn't think it would make much of a difference for the poker rooms. He said they're more concerned with getting bigger tournaments going and with trying to get casino games.
