Florida Poker Game Spread Speculation

As poker players we do have considerable influence over the games offered in cardrooms. Bend the ear of the cardroom manager, the shift managers and the podium brushes and let them know what games you’d prefer. If the managers don’t know that you want to play a certain game they won’t offer it. If your room doesn’t offer a 1-5 spread hold ‘em or a pink chip game and that’s what you want simply ask to start an interest list.

Also important for us as players is for the cardroom to have a posted list of authorized games and wagering limits offered by the cardroom per 849.086. Maybe we can nudge the cardroom managers to list potential games on the chance that there will be enough future interest for them.

849.086 Cardrooms authorized
(7) CONDITIONS FOR OPERATING A CARDROOM.
--d) Each cardroom operator shall conspicuously post upon the premises of the cardroom a notice which contains a copy of the cardroom license; a list of authorized games offered by the cardroom; the wagering limits imposed by the house, if any; any additional house rules regarding operation of the cardroom or the playing of any game; and all costs to players to participate, including any rake by the house. In addition, each cardroom operator shall post at each table a notice of the minimum and maximum bets authorized at such table and the fee for participation in the game conducted

849.086 - full statute prior to passing of 752
