Internet gambling and betting law in Florida
Before going on to consider in more detail the situation regarding the sort of betting activities you can enjoy on a night-out in Florida - you might be interested to know what the situation is in Florida regarding internet gambling and playing online casino games like poker, roulette and blackjack. Please be aware that, when reading this, don’t forget that the Federal Wire act of 1961 could be applied to online gambling in Florida. Otherwise, Florida actually currently enjoys a fairly relaxed attitude towards internet gambling. Basically in the US states are divided into those that have passed laws to expressly prohibit placing online bets and those that, to date, haven’t. As you might have guessed from the lead up to this - at present Florida state law does not expressly prohibit internet gambling and betting, so playing online casino games would appear to be quite legal here.

Chance, skill and betting law in Florida
Across the United States determining if a game is one of chance or skill is often used to determine whether or not betting on the outcome of a game will be legally allowed. Where the outcome of a game is merely deemed to be down to chance the likelihood of betting on it being allowed is very small indeed, whereas betting on a game of skill may well be allowed. To illustrate this point the outcome of a horse race will be affected by the skill of a jockey - but most states will assert that a game of poker is mere chance, dependant of the cards randomly dealt and not considering any skill on behalf of the player in deciding what to do with those cards. So, a game of chance is likely to violate state gambling laws but a game of skill is not likely to; to determine if a game is one of chance or skill the ‘dominant factor test’ is applied. Florida is one of only seven that doesn’t apply that test when determining if betting on a game can be allowed. Whether this is a good or bad thing for gamblers in Florida is difficult to assess, but it would certainly account for the difficulty in locating a roulette table in the state! Of course an irony here is that Florida does allow lottery gambling. So, if you live in Florida and want to play some casino games like roulette, your only recourse might well be to play online roulette.
