• Poker Room Review: Cities of Gold Casino, Sante Fe, NM

  March 16, 2008,

  This may be the least apt name for a poker room I have ever encountered. Cities of Gold, in spite of the best efforts of its small staff, is just about the dingiest, least appealing casino and poker room that I have visited...

   

• Poker Room Review: Camel Rock Casino, Santa Fe, NM

  March 09, 2008,

  I'm spoiled. Back in New England, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and California, where I play most of my poker, when there's a poker room open, it's open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Not so in New Mexico, where rooms keep...

   

• Poker Room Review: Sky City Casino, Acoma, NM

  March 02, 2008,

  I visited the Sky City Casino in Acoma, New Mexico after a playing session down the road at Route 66 Casino. Sky City is about 15 minutes further west, a little less than an hour west of Albuquerque on I-40 on the way to Gallup...

   

• Poker Room Review: Route 66 Casino Hotel, Albuquerque, NM

  February 24, 2008,

  New Mexico has a nice cluster of poker rooms situated within 30 minutes of the corridor between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. There are seven rooms in all – though some don't operate full time, and only one has a full host of games...

   

• Poker Room Review: The Borgata, Atlantic City, NJ

  February 17, 2008,

  You've heard the expression "saving the best for last". That describes my experience at the Borgata, without a doubt the finest poker room in Atlantic City. I started my Atlantic City trip with an early Saturday arrival at the Hilton...

   

• Poker Room Review: Harrah's Atlantic City, Atlantic City, NJ

  February 10, 2008,

  Harrah's is a pleasant and busy room for low-limit players. I enjoyed my visit there and recommend it to any who visit Atlantic City and are looking for a nice place to play low-stakes versions of limit hold'em, no-limit hold'em, and even...

   

• Poker Room Review: Showboat Casino Hotel, Atlantic City, NJ

  February 03, 2008,

  I boarded the Showboat Casino Hotel In Atlantic City in the early evening after having played in each of the poker rooms on Atlantic City's boardwalk. I was a little tired and, frankly, a little weary from all of the poker...

   

• Poker Room Review: Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, CT

  January 27, 2008,

  Mohegan Sun has poker for the first time in over four years. But there still is no Mohegan Sun poker room. Mohegan Sun used to have a great poker room, but that room closed on Labor Day, 2004, with the announced reason that there wasn't...

   

• Poker Room Review: Bally's Atlantic City, Atlantic City, NJ

  January 20, 2008,

  Bally's was the fourth poker room in my tour of all of the Atlantic City rooms. It is next in line on the boardwalk after Caesars Atlantic City and before Resorts. Bally's is not a superficially appealing room. First of all...

   

• Poker Room Review: Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City, NJ

  January 13, 2008,

  The Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort in Atlantic City has what is surely the busiest, the biggest, and the most bustling poker room on the Atlantic City boardwalk. The Borgata, off the boardwalk by a mile or so, may have more tables...

   

• Poker Room Review: Resorts Atlantic City, Atlantic City, NJ

  January 06, 2008,

  Resorts' poker room is easy to overlook. After all, with all of the large poker action at the Taj, and the fairly large room also next door at Bally's; it's easy to see how the small Resorts room might be overlooked. Even so...

   

• Poker Room Review: Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City, NJ

  December 30, 2007,

  I visited the Tropicana Casino and Resort during Veteran's Day weekend of 2007. It was the second stop on a marathon poker-playing trip in Atlantic City when I had planned to walk from casino to casino on the boardwalk, trying out each poker...

   

• Poker Room Review: Atlantic City Hilton Casino Resort, Atlantic City, NJ

  December 23, 2007,

  I drove down to Atlantic City, New Jersey from my home in Boston, Massachusetts to see how the poker scene was playing out in this East Coast gambling mecca. I left at 3:00 AM on a Saturday morning, stopped only briefly for coffee...

   

• Poker Room Review: Mountaineer Racetrack and Resort, Chester, WV

  December 16, 2007,

  Poker players living in the Mid-Atlantic states haven't had many options if they wanted to sling some chips. Home games don't run 24/7, underground clubs are by nature secretive and hard to locate, and in both those cases you have...

   

• Poker Room Review: Caesars Atlantic City, Atlantic City, NJ

  December 09, 2007,

  I arrived at Caesars during my marathon trip to each of Atlantic City's many poker rooms. Caesars had been one of my favorite places to play during my last major trip to the area, about two years ago. The casino itself is nicely...

   

• Poker Room Review: Isle of Capri, Boonville, MO

  December 02, 2007,

  It's well known that Missouri has major casinos at each end of the state – in St. Louis on the eastern border and in Kansas City on the west. There are a few poker rooms in these casinos making it easy to find a game. But what I didn't know...

   

• Poker Room Review: Harrah's St. Louis, Maryland Heights, MO

  November 25, 2007,

  There are other poker rooms in the St. Louis area. There's the Ameristar in St. Charles and there's the President on the river downtown. Each has its special charms (Ameristar more than the President, to be sure)...

   

• Poker Room Review: The President, St. Louis, MO

  November 18, 2007,

  I'm about the most positive of casino visitors. I tend to see gleaming silver linings no matter how dark the cloud. But this place – well, it's another story. In my opinion, the President Casino is a weird and sad place...

   

• Poker Room Review: Ameristar St. Charles, St, Charles, MO

  November 11, 2007,

  St. Louis is a wonderful Midwestern city. Those not from the area might not appreciate what a great place it is, from its famous breweries (Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser, is based here) to great sports teams including the Cardinals...

   

• Poker Room Review: The Lodge at Belmont, Belmont, NH

  November 04, 2007,

  I've gotten used to the typical New Hampshire "charity" poker room. They're typically somewhat rough around the edges – a little dirty, somewhat pedestrian, or strictly functional. I hadn't come across any rooms that had more than...
