The Florida legislature is considering legalizing domino games at state-licensed cardrooms. Currently only the game of poker is allowed in the cardrooms.

If enacted, Florida Statute 849.086, which authorizes the operation of cardrooms at licensed pari-mutuel facilities in the state, would be amended to also allow wagering on games of dominoes at licensed cardrooms in pari-mutuel facilities.

There are two pieces of legislation moving forward. House Bill 579, sponsored by State Representative Edward Bullard, and Senate Bill 1422, sponsored by State Senator Larcenia Bullard.
