Florida has some unusual gambling laws. A court last year ruled that no-limit Texas Hold’em tournaments violated the law. On Friday, an appeals court ruled that the Florida Department of Pari-Mutuel Gaming erred in its decision that no-limit Texas Hold’em was illegal.
Interestingly enough, the original ruling hurt tax revenues. The appellate decision could be appealed, though, to the Florida State Supreme Court.
