With six tables the waiting time on weekends can be up to 15 minutes. The atmosphere here is friendly
and peppy. This room is a part of the sports book, so it is easy
to step out if you require a smoke. The dealers are quick to put
players at ease and carry on a friendly banter throughout the game. There is
a mixture of locals and tourists at the poker tables. If you are
lucky you can find yourself at a table full of novices and make
yourself some money.
The management is friendly, helpful and accessible. The waitresses
are excellent and fast. They also offer food
coupons worth $5 and casino rates for their already
reasonably priced rooms.
