Miami sits at 25.77416667, -80.19361111, and the published list documents four venues in that city alone — the densest cluster in the state. Straight-line distance from a fixed reference point is the only measurement this article can give you; road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
If you are searching for where you can sit down at a table, the geography is the stable part of the answer. The rules about which games are offered change through the Florida Gaming Control Commission, and they are not fixed by a map. What follows is a positioning guide built only on documented coordinates and the list of venues those coordinates anchor.
The fixed positions behind the question
The published list documents 33 venues in Florida, with 3 documented as closed. Of those, 26 are listed as racinos and 6 as Native American venues, with 1 unclassified. Those labels describe how the list categorizes each property, not a legal status this article can confirm.
The venues cluster unevenly. Miami holds 4, Tampa holds 3, and Hallandale Beach and Hollywood each hold 2. The rest are spread across 26 distinct cities, from Daytona Beach on the Atlantic side to Gretna in the Panhandle. A reader asking about blackjack is really asking about a specific building, and each building has a fixed point on the ground.
Documented city positions
Only four cities in the supplied reference set carry coordinates. They anchor the venues the list documents, and they give you a way to orient yourself before you look at any road map.
| City | Documented venues | Latitude | Longitude |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami | 4 | 25.77416667 | -80.19361111 |
| Tampa | 3 | 27.9475 | -82.45861111 |
| Daytona Beach | 1 | 29.21083333 | -81.08944444 |
| Okeechobee | 1 | 27.24666667 | -80.83027778 |
Tampa sits northwest of Miami. Daytona Beach sits north of both, on the Atlantic coast. Okeechobee sits inland, west of the coast and roughly level with Tampa's latitude. Those relative positions come from the coordinates alone; no road route is implied.
Why straight-line distance misleads a traveler
Great-circle distance measures the shortest path across the Earth's surface between two coordinate pairs. It ignores everything a car, bus, or train must cross. Florida adds three complications that make the gap between straight-line and road distance unusually large.
First, water. The state is a peninsula with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, plus large inland lakes such as Lake Okeechobee. A straight line from a coastal city to an inland venue can cross open water that no road traverses. Second, the road network does not radiate evenly from any city; it follows historical settlement patterns, bridges, and causeways. Third, many documented venues sit near county lines or in unincorporated areas, where the nearest major road may loop around rather than cut through.
The result is that two venues with similar straight-line distances from your starting point can require very different drives. One may sit directly off a major corridor; another may require a long loop around a water body or a protected area. Only a routing tool using your actual departure point can resolve that.
How to measure from your own position
If your search phrase included "me," "here," or "my location," this article cannot use that as a reference point, because it is not a fixed coordinate. The venue's position is fixed; your position is not. What you can do is take the documented coordinates above and measure from wherever you are.
Open any mapping tool, enter your current location, and enter the venue's city coordinates or the venue's own address from its published contact page. The tool will return a road distance and a travel time specific to your departure point, your departure time, and current traffic. That is the figure you should trust for planning, not any straight-line number.
What the venue list does and does not tell you
The source list for this article is titled "List of casinos in Florida." It is a snapshot maintained by volunteer editors, not a regulator's licence roll. A venue can open or close before the list is updated, and the list's own count can lag reality.
For the authoritative current list of venues operating in Florida, the reader should consult the Florida Gaming Control Commission directly. That body publishes the official record of what is currently authorized, and it is the only channel this article can point you to for a live answer about game offerings at any named venue.
What to confirm before you go
Several things in this article are deliberately left as questions for the venue or the regulator, because they change and because no supplied fact supports a current figure.
- Whether a specific venue offers blackjack at all, and under what table rules.
- The venue's current operating status and hours.
- Any entry requirement, dress code, or age restriction in force today.
- The road distance and travel time from your actual departure point.
Each of those items has an authoritative channel: the venue's own published contact page for hours and entry, the Florida Gaming Control Commission for the regulatory record, and a live mapping tool for the drive. Confirm all of them before you spend money traveling.
FAQ
Does the published list tell me which Florida venues have blackjack?
No. The list documents venue names, cities, and broad categories such as racino or Native American. It does not itemize which table games any venue offers. The Florida Gaming Control Commission holds the authoritative current record, and the venue's own published materials state what is on the floor today.
Why can't this article give me a driving distance to a Florida card room?
Because driving distance depends on your departure point, the route chosen, current traffic, and road closures. None of those are fixed facts. The only distances this article can state are straight-line figures between documented coordinates, and even those are labeled as great-circle measurements that understate real travel distance.
How do I find the current rules for playing blackjack in Florida?
Start with the Florida Gaming Control Commission, which publishes the regulatory framework for gaming in the state. Then check the specific venue's own published information for what it offers and under what conditions. Rules change, and a map cannot tell you what is legal or available today.
