Here is USPoker\u2019s 2019 guide to America\u2019s best poker states.<\/p>\n<p>2018 was an up and down year for poker. On the bright side, the 2018 edition of the <strong>World Series of Poker Main Event<\/strong> drew the second-largest field in history, with <strong>7,874<\/strong> souls competing for the game\u2019s grandest prize. This turnout indicated that poker may be trending upward a bit.<\/p>\n<p>However, poker is not without some concerns. There have been room closures, and poker revenue in <strong>New Jersey<\/strong> already pales in comparison to the nascent sports betting market.<\/p>\n<p>Below is our guide to the situations in some of America\u2019s best poker states. Please note, however, that this list is not meant to be exhaustive.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, poker rooms exist in almost every state and region of the country. However, these six areas seem to have the most activity right now.<\/p>\n<h2>California<\/h2>\n<p><strong>California<\/strong>, at least in terms of sheer numbers, is the most active poker state in the United States. The Golden State boasts more cardrooms and tables than most other states combined.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the dedicated cardrooms in state, there are also many tribal casinos that offer poker. Roughly 20 of the Native American venues in the state have a poker room.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Number of cardrooms: 88<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Total number of tables: 1986<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Notable cardrooms<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bay 101<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Casino M8trix<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Club One Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Commerce Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hawaiian Gardens Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hustler Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Larry Flynt\u2019s Lucky Lady Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lucky Chances Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Oceans Eleven Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Bicycle Hotel &amp; Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Notable upcoming tournaments*<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Player Appreciation Series \u2013 Hustler Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WPT Gardens Poker Championships \u2013 Hawaiian Gardens Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WSOP Circuit \u2013 Los Angeles \u2013 Bicycle Hotel &amp; Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WSOP Circuit \u2013 Sacramento \u2013 Thunder Valley Casino Resort<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WPT LA Poker Classic \u2013 Commerce Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WPT Rolling Thunder \u2013 Thunder Valley Casino Resort<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Shooting Star \u2013 Bay 101<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WPTDeepStacks Sacramento \u2013 Thunder Valley Casino Resort<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CPPT VII \u2013 Oceans Eleven<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Florida<\/h2>\n<p>In the past two decades, Florida has become one of America\u2019s best poker states. The Sunshine State is now quite the destination for poker players that live east of the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, out of roughly 30 poker rooms in Florida, there are few small-time operations. Almost every room contains at least 10 tables, and many have more than 20 available for play.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Number of cardrooms: 29<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Total number of tables: 934<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Notable cardrooms<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>bestbet Jacksonville<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>bestbet Orange Park<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Derby Lane Poker Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Seminole Hard Rock Tampa<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Palm Beach Kennel Club<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Melbourne Greyhound Park<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Daytona Beach and Racing Card Club<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Big Easy Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hialeah Park Casino<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Isle Casino Pompano Park<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Miccosukee Resort<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange City Racing and Card Club<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Naples-Fort Myers Poker Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>One-Eyed Jacks at Sarasota Kennel Club<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Notable upcoming tournaments*<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lucky Hearts Poker Open \u2013 Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>New Year Accumulator Series \u2013 Derby Lane Poker Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>bestbet Winter Open \u2013 bestbet Jacksonville<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WSOP Circuit \u2013 South Florida (Winter) \u2013 Seminole Coconut Creek<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Michigan<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Michigan<\/strong> is perhaps not the first state to come to mind regarding poker.
