Horseshoe Casino St. Louis formerly Lumiere Place Casino

Horseshoe St. Louis plays host to regular and reliable poker action in St. Louis, Missouri. A key difference between Horseshoe St. Louis and most other poker rooms is that they run cash games to a set schedule. Whereas most venues run games when a demand arises, this more regimented setup ensures that players can plan ahead. Overall, it is hard to argue against the view that Horseshoe St. Louis is one of the most highly organized poker rooms in the midwest.

Lumiere Place is also admirable for its veritable selection of different stakes. At few other sites in Missouri are you able to find a poker room offering stakes between $1-$2 and $10-$20 in no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha, and mixed games. Regular daily tournaments also run from day to day. The undisputed highlight of Lumiere Place’s tournament scene is the annual Heartland Poker Tour Missouri event, which brings big-time tourney action to deserving residents of the state. This is a chance for Missouri grinders to compete for life-changing money in tournaments that have previously attracted poker megastars such as Phil Hellmuth and Chris Moneymaker. Spotters have also noted cameo tourney appearances from celebs such as musician Nelly. HPT’s cameras capture the action to showcase the venue and the local poker talent.

While playing at Lumiere Place, you have access to some excellent amenities. Sports fans regularly drop in before and after nearby St. Louis Cardinals games for poker and restaurant food. Poker players earn comps which can be taken to the award-winning Asian restaurants and buffets found throughout the complex. Steakhouses and more refined dining establishments are also nearby, though the Lumiere’s focus tends to be on filling food rather than on extravagance. Of course, this is quite welcome when needing fuel for long sessions!
