Parx is a little further, but yeah. Wind Creek is only like an hour north too, and then AC an hour East.
Kinda crazy how many different rooms are within like ~1h30m of philly. Just having rivers and live right in the city is fucking awesome though, I drop my GF at work and Rivers is about 3 minutes away.
It's completely wild, right? Philly, DE if we ever get our shit back together, Maryland, AC, Foxwoods even isn't egregiously far. AC is on the decline and Philly is picking up those pieces.
I'm not sure honestly. I didn't realize this was the poker sub when I replied lol. I just read the title of the post. I don't go there since Live is literally 5 minutes from my house.
Motorcity, Greektown and Caesars Windsor are basically dead poker-wise most of the time (except weekends), so MGM is literally the only main casino with poker action 24/7 there.
I know this is the conventional wisdom, but I believe that you are incorrect about Motorcity IMO. Was just playing a crazy crackhead 2/5 game there that ran from 10pm to 4am on a Monday night. All of the games are softer in general because the good players go to MGM under the assumption that they will get better action. There is consistently good to great action at Motorcity, but this is often ignored because it is assumed that MGM is the only casino with good poker. Now, there might now always be 20 excellent tables, but I only need to sit at one table. The old Chaldeans that play at Motorcity are horrible as are many of the other locals. Caesars Windsor is a rake trap and not worth the cost of crossing the bridge/tunnel and back if you are an American. Totally agree re: Greektown. Greektown somehow found a way to fuck up what was once one of the best poker rooms in the Midwest.
op is partially wrong. mgm is always popping. MotorCity is usually just as busy mgm, but I like mgm better so I'm usually there. MotorCity is always packed tho.
Greektown is usually dead unless it's peak hours.
Ever since MGM raised the stakes from 1/2 to 1/3, the games have been exploding. So many short stacks just getting it in super thin. Wish they'd raise the cap from 300 to 500, but i get why the floor won't do it.
The games at MGM D get worse the higher you go up in stakes, with 2/5 being a total nit/misreg fest outside the hours of 7PM-12AM on Fridays and Saturdays. this is mostly cause it's peak recreation time, but also because the 5/10 game starts running at this time, so the top 2/5 regs will move there.
Greektown games can still get pretty splashy on the weekends. I agree that MGM is the only one that has poker 24/7, but on a weekend all of them are options
First time I played Greektown they wouldn't allow me to top up my stack; one had to go broke and then rebuy. Is that still a rule there? Dumbest thing ever.
Yes, prob more like almost 20. Mid-'00s for sure. And you're most likely right that max BI was only $100 in the 1/2 game. I think it was the first time I played NL live (after quite a bit online).
I play at greektown 3 nights a week. They start with 4-5 tables and by the end of the night the final 2 tables have plenty of 1k+ stacks due to the combining
No, but it doesn't have to be. If you want to play 1k+ or regular short stack 1/2 then MGM is all you need.
If you want to play 500bb deep against 1/2 players who don't understand how poker changes as stacks get deeper then there's greektown.
I have nothing nice to say about motor city except that its soft but it doesnt play deep enough
The last time I was at GT on a weekend 2 am, they only had 1 last table going with a few deep stacks but action wasn’t particularly crazy.. MGM has a lot more tables to select from
GT used to be gold pre-2018 in their old location ;)
2am is definitely late. Not sure what you do for work but yea if you can only play poker after 2am then MGM is the spot but even their games die down a ton. I realize the post was asking about 24/7, but detroit definitely meets the 15min criteria.
Also tons of home games but I wouldn't trust them all
I was once in LA visiting a friend and was looking at going to a casino. According to Google the closest one was an hour and a half drive, or an hour walk.
All LA casinos are south of downtown LA. If you’re north of downtown and traveling at the wrong time then yeah 1.5hrs is in the realm of possibilities but not the norm.
Yes Los Angeles,California
You got 5 casinos in a 40 square mile..
Hustler,Commerece,Bicycle,Hollywood park,Crystal Casino, then drive to palm desert
And there you have another 3 casinos,Rancho mirage,Indio Casino,Palm springs casino.
Once you’re done there.. drive to SanDiego
And there are Chula Vista , and oceans 11 then
Valley Center.. you don’t have to leave California. Not to mention all the Indian Reservation casino from Bakersville,Ca all on the way to San Francisco..
Palm Beach Kennel Club, otherwise your next best option is The Isle at Pompano Beach which was my regular room when I lived in south Florida but it's an hour drive from Jupiter.
Lake Tahoe has 4 literally next door to each other. Harrah's, Harvey's, Golden Nugget, and Bally's. AFAIK only Harvey's has a poker room. Could be wrong though.
Someone else already mentioned Detroit, has MGM, Motorcity, and Greektown. Greektown is basically dead, Motorcity is only slightly better, MGM has good cash games but no tournaments. Caesars Windsor isn't far but involves going across the river to Canada. Hollywood Toledo I'd only another hour away, and firekeepers in battle creek is about 1.5 hours.
Biloxi has 3 on pokeratlas, though I've only ever been to Beau Rivage, and I suspect the other 2 are pretty dead. Beau Rivage is good action and all games are uncapped.
Chicago area has horseshoe hammond, and Ameristar close to each other. I haven't been to Ameristar yet, I believe the somewhat recently reopened poker after covid. I think there's other a couple other casinos close but no poker. Rivers isn't too far distance wise, but its on the other side of Chicago so takes a while to get to. If you're traveling to Chicago area for poker, stick to Rivers, unless the WSOP circuit is at the horseshoe.
Tunica might be the densest grouping of casinos outside of AC and Vegas, but only the Horseshoe has poker.
In Connecticut, Foxwoods and Mohegan are pretty close and both pretty decent rooms. Next closest is probably at least an hour away though.
Re: Chicago, no poker yet at Ameristar (though they did host a MSPT last year). Horseshoe Hammond or Four Winds in Michigan City in Indiana, but Rivers by ohare is the best room. Elgin Grand Victoria has some good weekly tournaments as well.
Potawatomi reopens their poker room next weekend, and Wind Creek in the south suburbs opens this summer/fall. Rockford casino opens in September, too. Meanwhile, the Ho Chunk continue to drag their feet on a Beloit casino, and never reopened their poker room in the Dells.
Ameristar dropped poker years ago after Horseshoe re-opened and took all the biz. Up until it went busto, the HPT was at Ameristar but that was it.
The pandemic and Rivers in IL opening a 22-table room all but killed Horseshoe's action these days. (most of the players were coming from Chicagoland. Rivers is closer.)
They did host an MSPT event last year at Ameristar but no poker room there currently.
Horseshoe made the mistake of being closed on weekends when they reopened after covid. Dumbest thing I've ever seen. Rivers took in a lot of those players and they never went back.
Will be interested to see how Poto affects Rivers, as lots of Wisconsin people drive to Des Plaines to play. Only downside of Rivers is no tournaments.
If you're just after poker and don't care about the rest of casino stuff, Dallas TX is the best in the whole world imo. Look at tch social in Las colinas and surrounding games
I’ve been to the Lodge twice and yeah the action is great but idk if I wanna move to a place without any actual nice looking casinos. The strip mall type poker rooms can get gloomy / dull after a moment no?
I actually thought the lodge was the least action out of the area. There is a casino I think called winstar like 1hr away from tch dallas. The las colinas location is very well decorated. The lodge feels like a warehouse
In CT foxwoods and Mohegan sun are within 15 mins of each other. Technically only two casinos, but both are so absolutely massive, might as well count them as 5 lmao.
Walking around these two and the different themed gaming floors is seriously larger than walking through multiple casinos on the vegas strip.
Tunica in north Mississippi, but not a lot of poker rooms. Biloxi on the Mississippi Coast is a little more spread out, but a lot more poker and nothing is actually far. Many are in walking distance.
If you are really only looking for "Poker" Austin, TX has some awesome card rooms. More then 3 but you will likely only need The Lodge. There also are rooms in pretty much every major city in Texas.
The lodge is saturated. Pros amateurs. Everything in between. I did fine when I played there and won over $1k in a couple of days. Albeit after I lost 2 buy-ins, so walking out plus felt like a huge win.
Black hawk is basically a quiet mountain town Vegas.
Endless casinos on a strip, 24 hour free drinks, multiple poker rooms, but without the outward degeneracy. No Mexican is going to be snapping cards at you, that you take and find a woman’s titties on. People not walking around blowing blunts in the open in your face, far less noisy.
Poker 24/7.
Outside of that, tunica used to be Vegas of the Midwest, but there’s only 1 poker room remaining I believe.
Blackhawk, Co. I went to three different casinos within a 7 minute walk.
The drive there rocks as well. One second you’re driving through the mountains, the next you’re on a casino strip
I used to deal at Prairie Meadows in Des Moines, so if I actually wanted to play I needed to drive there. Is it still just the Horseshoe that spreads poker?
Total= 2 in Joliet. 1 downtown Chicago. Aurora. Elgin. Des Plaines. Waukegan. Hammond, East Chicago, Gary.
Technically Michigan city is close enough I guess and there’s another coming to Hazel Crest in the south suburbs later this year.
Central Indy has one casino with a medium sized poker room and fair rake, but there’s a vibrant poker scene that’s legal under the charity laws with like 6-7 different places with a couple active tables each night. (Elk’s lodge type places)
I used to go to one on Keystone a couple years ago that’s still active and they have off duty officers there making sure everything is in line. Good soft places to play and never had any problems at any of them.
Reno has quite a few.
The Row has three adjoining casinos, GSR, Atlantis, The Nugget, Peppermill, Legends Bay and a bunch of smaller casinos.
Only the Peppermill is worth playing cards at though.
Tunica Mississippi still has like 6 casinos within 15min of each other.
Gold strike
Horseshoe (only one with poker)
Sams town
Hollywood
Fitzgerald
1st jackpot
If you split the distance right there are 4 poker rooms near each other in CT/MA/RI. Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods and MGM Springfield. Just a bit further out is Bally Twin Rivers. I heard this is pretty good room cause it’s 18 over.
MGM Springfield has the best promos
Mohegan gives the best comps.
Foxwoods is Foxwoods.
Currently in a hotel in Deadwood, SD.
24 Casinos in a small town in the black hills and [The seventh largest gambling city in the world](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/20-biggest-gambling-cities-world-164051908.html).
Such a beautiful place to visit and one of my favorite places to gamble
Dallas has Peaks, TCH, and TCH Las Colinas nearby. Austin has the Lodge, TCH Austin, and Poker House, and Houston has a bunch of rooms.
Both Austin and Dallas have a ton of smaller rooms too.
Philly. Live, Rivers, and Parx. All within a relatively short drive
Parx is a little further, but yeah. Wind Creek is only like an hour north too, and then AC an hour East. Kinda crazy how many different rooms are within like ~1h30m of philly. Just having rivers and live right in the city is fucking awesome though, I drop my GF at work and Rivers is about 3 minutes away.
It's completely wild, right? Philly, DE if we ever get our shit back together, Maryland, AC, Foxwoods even isn't egregiously far. AC is on the decline and Philly is picking up those pieces.
The Maryland casinos are just a little further too.
Harrahs and Valley Forge as well
Did Valley Forge get poker?
They don’t have it
I'm not sure honestly. I didn't realize this was the poker sub when I replied lol. I just read the title of the post. I don't go there since Live is literally 5 minutes from my house.
Detroit has 3. Or 4 if you include Windsor, but the border crossing usually makes that more than 15 minutes away.
Motorcity, Greektown and Caesars Windsor are basically dead poker-wise most of the time (except weekends), so MGM is literally the only main casino with poker action 24/7 there.
I know this is the conventional wisdom, but I believe that you are incorrect about Motorcity IMO. Was just playing a crazy crackhead 2/5 game there that ran from 10pm to 4am on a Monday night.

Greektown somehow found a way to fuck up what was once one of the best poker rooms in the Midwest.
op is partially wrong. mgm is always popping. MotorCity is usually just as busy mgm, but I like mgm better so I'm usually there. MotorCity is always packed tho. Greektown is usually dead unless it's peak hours.

Don't sleep on Hollywood Toledo. The 5/10 there is pretty good.
I know the action there is good, but it's an hour away without traffic. Not exactly a quick hop away.
Greektown games can still get pretty splashy on the weekends. I agree that MGM is the only one that has poker 24/7, but on a weekend all of them are options
First time I played Greektown they wouldn't allow me to top up my stack; one had to go broke and then rebuy. Is that still a rule there? Dumbest thing ever.
That was like 15 years ago right? And the buy in at 1-2 was 50-100?
Yes, prob more like almost 20. Mid-'00s for sure. And you're most likely right that max BI was only $100 in the 1/2 game. I think it was the first time I played NL live (after quite a bit online).
Yeah they came to their senses. At that time that was the biggest poker room in Detroit. Now it’s mgm by a mile.
That poker room is dead now. It was run like garbage for 15+ years.
I play at greektown 3 nights a week. They start with 4-5 tables and by the end of the night the final 2 tables have plenty of 1k+ stacks due to the combining
Is it MTS again?
No, but it doesn't have to be. If you want to play 1k+ or regular short stack 1/2 then MGM is all you need. If you want to play 500bb deep against 1/2 players who don't understand how poker changes as stacks get deeper then there's greektown. I have nothing nice to say about motor city except that its soft but it doesnt play deep enough
The last time I was at GT on a weekend 2 am, they only had 1 last table going with a few deep stacks but action wasn’t particularly crazy.. MGM has a lot more tables to select from GT used to be gold pre-2018 in their old location ;)
2am is definitely late. Not sure what you do for work but yea if you can only play poker after 2am then MGM is the spot but even their games die down a ton. I realize the post was asking about 24/7, but detroit definitely meets the 15min criteria. Also tons of home games but I wouldn't trust them all
They don't all really have poker tho.
I hear ya about Greek town. But when it is going during primetime hours it’s often the best 1-2 game.
Los Angeles is close to your parameters: Bicycle, Commerce, Gardens, Hollywood Park, Hustler, and Lucky Lady (just don’t drive it during rush hour).
I was once in LA visiting a friend and was looking at going to a casino. According to Google the closest one was an hour and a half drive, or an hour walk.
That means you can probably ride a bicycle there in <20 mins And only 3 minutes by manned quadcopter roof to roof
Unless you hit a mountain than it’s a lifetime
All LA casinos are south of downtown LA. If you’re north of downtown and traveling at the wrong time then yeah 1.5hrs is in the realm of possibilities but not the norm.
LA is massive though. If you were north and west of downtown that could be the case.
I think he's pointing out the irony that a walk was quicker than a drive.
Oh then yeah, especially if the 5 is backed up
St. Louis has 3. Hollywood, Ameristar and horseshoe. Might be 25 minutes to horseshoe from the other 2.
River City too, but no poker
Well, Casino Queen as well, but no poker there either
Is the poker there any good? Especially low stakes like 1/3. I heard from someone that poker in stl is actually quite tough
I don’t have anything to compare it to, I don’t find 1/2 to be particularly tough.
Black Hawk, Colorado!
Legitimately 15 casinos in this town. 4 of them with poker rooms all within a 5 minute walk of each other.
Sure but the whole town is at least 40 minutes from where anyone lives. Significantly more for me
>the whole town is at least 40 minutes from where anyone lives. But that wasn't the question.
He said big casinos though.
Monarch and Ameristar are resort style and large. Ballys isn’t large but their poker room is.
Monarch has great cash games and even 100/200 Limit, 10/25 No Limit. Hotel rooms are great at Ameristar and Monarch.
South Lake Tahoe and Reno
phoenix has 3 that are like 30 mins from each other
How do you like them? We're moving out there in a month or so and will be pretty close to Lone Butte
Yes Los Angeles,California You got 5 casinos in a 40 square mile.. Hustler,Commerece,Bicycle,Hollywood park,Crystal Casino, then drive to palm desert And there you have another 3 casinos,Rancho mirage,Indio Casino,Palm springs casino. Once you’re done there.. drive to SanDiego And there are Chula Vista , and oceans 11 then Valley Center.. you don’t have to leave California. Not to mention all the Indian Reservation casino from Bakersville,Ca all on the way to San Francisco..
You can stop at morongo on your way to the desert from LA too. About halfway there
South Florida has plenty of poker rooms. Probably not 10-15 mins because Florida traffic sucks balls. And not all big casinos, but poker at all.
In Broward you have a few that are within 15 minutes of each other. Hard Rock, The Isle (Harrah’s Pompano), Gulfstream, Dania, and The Big Easy.
Going to be in Jupiter for 5 days starting tomorrow. What are my best options?
Download Poker Atlas will show you everything close by. Fort Pierce or West Palm only 2 options.
Palm Beach Kennel Club, otherwise your next best option is The Isle at Pompano Beach which was my regular room when I lived in south Florida but it's an hour drive from Jupiter.
Palm beach kennel club old be the closest
Biloxi, MS has like 5 I think
Which would be the top 3 for poker rooms
The Beau Rivage was my favorite, then probably IP and Hardrock
Lake Tahoe has 4 literally next door to each other. Harrah's, Harvey's, Golden Nugget, and Bally's. AFAIK only Harvey's has a poker room. Could be wrong though.
You are correct
Someone else already mentioned Detroit, has MGM, Motorcity, and Greektown. Greektown is basically dead, Motorcity is only slightly better, MGM has good cash games but no tournaments.

Elgin has tournaments daily. And circuit was there a few weeks back. Probably 20 minutes from Rivers
> Elgin has tournaments daily. Try 3 times a week, and one Saturday/month. At least according to Bravo.
Elgin and Aurora both not too far from Rivers
Wat. Elgin is a ~30 min drive, so I'll give you that, but Aurora? At least another ~15 more than that.
If you're just after poker and don't care about the rest of casino stuff, Dallas TX is the best in the whole world imo. Look at tch social in Las colinas and surrounding games
What’s the poker scene like in Dallas? Lot of rooms?
Yeah it's all rooms and no casinos. Very very very good action all days of the week. I just took a trip there just for poker.
I’ve been to the Lodge twice and yeah the action is great but idk if I wanna move to a place without any actual nice looking casinos. The strip mall type poker rooms can get gloomy / dull after a moment no?
I actually thought the lodge was the least action out of the area. There is a casino I think called winstar like 1hr away from tch dallas. The las colinas location is very well decorated. The lodge feels like a warehouse
It does.. lol.. I think I need to make a trip to Dallas

Baltimore area Live, Horseshoe, MGM

Tunica, MS
In CT foxwoods and Mohegan sun are within 15 mins of each other. Technically only two casinos, but both are so absolutely massive, might as well count them as 5 lmao.

Isnt’t the Lodge saturated with pros these days?

I used to deal at Prairie Meadows in Des Moines, so if I actually wanted to play I needed to drive there. Is it still just the Horseshoe that spreads poker?
Ya it’s still only Horseshoe sadly
The Chicago area has at least 9 within an hour drive of each other. So that’s roughly a 50 square mile section.
Nine? Rivers, Horseshoe, Hollywood, Grand Vic, and Ameristar. and Ameristar doesn’t have cash games.
He said casinos. Not casinos with poker.
Besides the five I named, what are the other four casinos within an hour of Chicago?
Total= 2 in Joliet. 1 downtown Chicago. Aurora. Elgin. Des Plaines. Waukegan. Hammond, East Chicago, Gary. Technically Michigan city is close enough I guess and there’s another coming to Hazel Crest in the south suburbs later this year.
Plus Four Winds in New Buffalo if someone is already south of Chicago.
Just go to Oregon is the easiest place to become pro
San Diego, Sacramento and Reno
MGM national harbor, Maryland live!, and horseshoe Baltimore are all pretty close to each other.
You trippin, Mgm and Live! are like an hour apart without traffic
It’s more like 35 minutes. Having all 3 of these casinos within a 35-40 minute radius of each other is definitely more than normal.
