For the uninitiated I’ll start with “What is a poker run”?
This sums it up, from Discover Boating:
But what if, they surmised, the long ride had several stops and at each stop participants picked up a playing card before riding to the next one—all with the goal of coming away with best five-card stud poker hand in the group? And what if the holder of that hand—or the top three holders of the top three hands—came away with some kind of prize?
Would that add to enhance the fun of the rally? The answer was a definitive yes and the popularity of motorcycle rallies with poker-run format skyrocketed. So it was only natural they would find their way into the go-fast powerboating world, and that was exactly what happened in the early 1990s when Canadian Bill Taylor founded Poker Runs America and launched a series of events. By the end of the decade, Stu Jones, another Canadian who had immigrated to the United States, founded the Florida Powerboat Club, which launched its own series of poker runs.
The Florida Powerboat Club is still thriving—as you’d guess from the name of the outfit—all of its poker runs are in the Sunshine State.
The Miami Boat Show Poker Run features all the biggest names in the performance powerboat industry. The event kicks off after the Miami International Boat Show. The boats leave from the Haulover Marine Center and head out to the Atlantic via Haulover Inlet.
For this year’s Poker Run we have 3 things that make for amazing footage, a nice chop on the water, a chopper filming chasing and filming, and serious horsepower. We won’t go through each boat here, just click on the video below and enjoy! Let us know which was your favorite!

Expect more poker runs and raffles in Illinois in 2020 thanks to a new law that takes effect Jan. 1 allowing non-statewide law enforcement associations to conduct such events.
Josh Witkowski, state legislative coordinator for motorcycle association ABATE of Illinois, said a poker run is a series of three to six different stops “where at each stop you either draw a card, a colored marble, sometimes we’ll roll dice, various games of what are considered games of chance but it’s not a game of chance when done under the aspects of the Poker Run Act.”
The law taking effect Wednesday is a simple change to the act, he said.
“What it means for poker runs and raffles in Illinois is it is permitting other law enforcement associations, not just statewide associations, to engage in poker runs and raffles,” Witkowski said. “It expands the pool of eligible groups that are able to do these kinds of activities in Illinois.”

Poker runs are popular, he said.
“Any given time during the season in the state of Illinois you will see these things at least once a week in your area throughout the entire state,” Witkowski said. “There is always something going on every week.”
Poker runs and raffles typically help out charitable causes like veterans groups and many times the winner ends up donating their winnings to the cause benefiting from the raffle or run.
With the new law allowing more groups to participate, Witkwoski expects there to be more poker runs, but he stressed the importance of following the law.
“It is very important that wherever the final location is, or the location that you’re going to do your big prize at, that location must be covered by a license from a licensing entity which is usually either the local government or the county government,” he said.
Violation of any provision of the Act is a Class C misdemeanor.
That’s just one of more than 250 new laws taking effect Jan. 1.
