For many players, there simply is no substitute for a rollicking game of Texas Hold 'Em poker. This game first captivated the public's attention in the 1960s, and its global popularity surged in the 2000s because of its exposure in literature, the internet, and television. The widespread appeal of this game is owed in part to the simplicity and entertainment value inherent in it. Players are tasked with forming the best 5-card hand possible. It's a simple proposition, but mastering this game certainly takes tremendous insight, practice, and poker smarts. Thanks to the inclusion of pot limit, fixed limit and no limit Hold 'Em, everyone scores with this feature rich attraction.
In Texas Hold 'Em, players are dealt two face-down cards. Afterwards, each player gets a chance to exercise their betting options. Next, three cards are dealt simultaneously on the table for all players to share. This is called the flop, and it is followed by another round of betting. A fourth card, called the turn, is then dealt, and it too is followed by a round of betting. One final community card called the river is dealt followed by a final round of betting. When all bets have concluded, there is a showdown, in which the highest ranking hand in play wins the pot.

Guests that want to play in the poker room must ask to be put on a waiting list for the game of their choice. We ask that you provide your name, number, and service provider. You will then receive a text message when your seat is available. After receiving the text message, you will have five (5) minutes to report to the poker podium with your first buy-in and ready to play. Your first buy-in must come from the Cashier Cage. If you come to the poker podium late, or without poker chips provided by the Cage, you will be removed from the list and your seat will become available for the next person in the queue.
