Ballys Poker Vegas Depending on which Bally’s casino and resort you like to frequent will determine whether or not your poker playing will take place in an actual room – like at the Bally’s in Atlantic City – or in a partitioned off area of the Las Vegas’ Resort’s casino floor. The seven tables you find in Las Vegas are top of the line and there is plenty of room to move in this cordoned off section in of the casino proper. Potential players beware, though. The poker ‘room’ at Bally’s can get a bit noisy thanks to the table games and slot machines on the other side of the three quarter wall.

Branded with the Bally’s logo and complete with automatic shufflers, the poker tables at Bally’s can sit up to six players. Play here tends to feature quite a few novice players within each game. Bally’s tries to make their poker card room as inviting as possible so that someone who has never played poker at a casino before is willing to try their luck. There is a computerized waiting list system and the plasma televisions in the poker room display not only the waiting time and order at Bally’s, but also at the Paris poker room. The hotels are connected and they are both owned by Harrah’s. Waiting time on the weekend averages around five to fifteen minutes.

The dealers are very good and very accommodating to players who need to take a break. Bally’s offers drinks at the tables in their cardrooms and the service here is second to none. The staff is efficient and friendly and you can get drink you want quickly without a fuss. There is a comp program at the casino as well so anyone playing there should make sure the manager of the cardroom is aware that they are guests at Bally’s hotel and the comp is properly credited.
