They do call Florida the sunshine State and every year millions of people from both the US and all over the world flock to Florida to spend some time in that sun and have an enjoyable holiday or vacation. While it is illegal for anyone to run an online poker site or an online casino from within the borders of Florida, there is no law in place making it illegal for players to play at one of the US friendly offshore poker sites or offshore casinos. However, Florida is also one of just three states in the United States that has a prohibition law in place regarding Internet poker. It has its fair share of casinos, horse tracks, dog tracks and lotteries. Florida is a state with a pretty active gambling scene.
