New poker room opens April 30 at Hard Rock
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino announced today that its new poker room will open April 30.
I posted earlier that the casino is making room for blackjack and baccarat, and to do so on the casino floor, something's gotta give.
The first move is now April 30, when poker goes to the former Park sports bar.
The release says:
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is moving its poker tables to a new, 12,000-square-foot, Seminole Paradise Poker room on April 30. The new room, occupying the space formerly known as The Park Sports Club, is South Florida’s ultimate poker facility offering no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em, limit Texas Hold ’Em, Seven Card Stud and two dollar and four dollar limit Omaha Hi Lo games.Seminole Paradise Poker will offer a more private environment for better concentration amongst players and a separate area for tournament play. In addition, it will feature a plethora of state-of-the-art televisions and two 8’x12’ monitors broadcasting sporting games, a table-side menu with service bar and an ATM machine. A high-limit area for VIP players will offer $5, $10 no limit and higher games.
Players Club card members can swipe their cards at the kiosk located inside to enter for casino promotions. All casino drawings will be piped-into the sound system.
Peter Arsenis, director of poker at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, said, “The Seminole Paradise Poker Room was designed to meet the needs of today’s player.”
Poker Players can participate in weekly no limit Texas Hold ‘Em multi and single-table tournaments in April including High Hand on Sundays-Thursdays from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Every hour the highest hand receives $1,000 in cash. Promotion includes all live games and sit-and-go tournaments and excludes multi-table tournaments. In the event of a tie, all five cards, the prize will be equally divided amongst the winners.
So, if you're a poker player, do you think it'll be a better place to play, or worse? To quote our Gregory Lewis: Holler back.
