Ok at best

This room is really not great. Every time I play there it really feels like the casino would rather not have poker at all. The regulars have a consensus feeling on the state of this poker room. Rumors or facts abound. I'm not a complete regular so I don't know how much is fact and how much is rumor but you do get a feeling that the people who run the casino would just assume put more slots there instead of poker.

Dealers are good to ok to sometimes poor. But most are semi disgruntled and would just prefer to be dealing blackjack it seems. Only a couple I know would rather deal poker.

Being the only option outside of an hour + drive sometimes id just rather not go play than go here but I love to play so my options are limited. Regular players are for the most part older guys and are not particularly friendly and won't ever play outside 2/10$. Some regs go out of there way to be rude. Only time a game can get bigger than 2/10$ is weekend nights after 8 or so and that's no guarantee. Don't ever go here expecting more than 1 table. I've seen a wait list a mile long and it took them forever to open a new table and even when they did you could def feel like it wasn't wanted.

Deli has decent food and they will bring it to your table and the waitresses come along pretty regularly.

At the end of the day, if you have other options do that. But if this is your only option, I guess it's OK at best.
