Florida Legislator To Legalize Online Video Poker

Looks like poker is on the way in Florida - at least online poker. State Rep. Joseph Abruzzo (D-Wellington) on Feb. 26 filed the Internet Poker Consumer Protection and Revenue Generation Act of 2010. The lawmaker's proposal makes Florida the first state to introduce a bill in its legislature that addresses the regulation of Internet gaming.

If enacted, Abruzzo's bill would legalize and regulate online video poker. Responsibility for ongoing regulation of the market would be assigned to the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering, a program of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation within the executive branch of the state government.
