Excalibur Poker Vegas Huzzah! Poker at the Excalibur Resort and Casino is a perennial player favorite and it has been rated excellent for beginning poker players. It was moved, expanded, and renovated to accommodate the addition of more tables. The atmosphere of the Excalibur is lively all around with its medieval décor. This is one casino and resort every one of all ages will enjoy.

The dealers are great and accommodating and competent at their job.

Excalibur Poker Games

One of the reasons the Excalibur is so favored among is the $1/$3 low spread Texas Hold’Em tables. It’s the only casino with that low of a spread. Limit Hold’Em starts with a $2/$6 spread and there are no limits games starting at $2/$4 and $4/$8 with a $200 maximum buy-in that include $1/$2 blinds. Seven Card Stud games can also be found at this poker cardroom with a $1/$5 spread. Larger spread games are not usually found at the Excalibur and the rakes do not go over $4.00.

There are only two bonus games at the Excalibur. One of the bonuses is the Wheel Spin. Any limit Texas Hold’Em game above the $1/$3 spread in which the player hits a four of a kind or better gives the player a chance to spin the wheel. Prizes range from $20 to $100. The other bonus is the bad beat jackpot for all $2/$6 games and higher.
