Florida Amendment 3, the Voter Approval of Casino Gambling Initiative, was on the ballot in Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment on November 6, 2018. It was approved and gives Florida voters the power to decide whether gambling will be expanded in the Sunshine State.

Online poker was ultimately stripped from the measure. The agreement will also ensure that gamblers stay safe in online poker

These games include:

    Mississippi Stud Poker
