My General Impressions: The poker room has but 6 tables. What is very nice is that there is free wifi. I would guess that a PLO game gets up and running on Friday and Saturday nights.Ĭell Reception: Cell reception has been good whenever I have happened to check. There is a Bad Beat Jackpot quad fives beaten, with all of the usual stipulations.Ĭash Games: The games that I have seen in action are: 4/8 Limit Hold’em, 1/3 NL Hold’em, and 2/5 NL Hold’em. Players are swiped in at the floor person’s station. Such is not the case at the Golden Nugget. Most players are familiar with a player’s card being swiped at the table to keep tabs on hours of play. What is more, there seems to be no fast food (i.e., a slice of pizza or a quick burger) in the casino for a poker player to quickly scarf down and return to playing -just nice restaurants as one might expect given that the owner, Tilman Fertitta, is a restaurateur extraordinaire.Ĭomps Offered: The only comp of which I am directly aware of at the moment is a standard $1/hour of comps for each hour of play. So I don’t know how anyone might be able to eat and play at the same time. However, there are no poker side tables in the poker room. However, I know that menus for three of the restaurants were made available to players that asked for menus. Televisions: There are plenty of televisions around to keep track of sports action.įood Tableside: I haven’t seen anyone use tableside service. Moreover, I have heard –but cannot confirm- that there is a charge for top shelf alcoholic drinks.ĭiscounted Hotel Rates: I don’t know whether a poker player rate is available or what it might be. For those that don’t drink alcohol it appears that there is no self-serve station for soft drinks (unlike the Isle of Capri and L’Auberge), so you will have to tip for your soft drinks. Either way, some players were getting a bit annoyed at the slowness of the service. I’m not sure whether this slow service is due to the newness of the casino or a shortage of servers.

So, on busy nights, expect to be bothered by secondhand smoke.Ĭocktail Service: There is cocktail service. However, like many poker rooms the non-smoking status is a bit of a misnomer since the room is not walled off and there may be smokers just a few feet away from you behind a railing that separates the poker room from the rest of the casino room floor. Non-smoking: The poker room is non-smoking. Nonetheless here is what I can tell you, and let me cover the stated features first: The poker room for the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles has been open for about two weeks now and I’ve played three sessions there so this report is based on limited observations.
