View Full Version : St. Louis Casinos

I've played ameristar and its 3/6 was so loose it was a joke (I counted...one guy saw the flop 17 times straight; three hands later there was a split pot on a 3-7 straight because 2 guys had called a bet with 3,7 before the flop came 4-5-6)
My question is...what is everyone's opinion on the best place to play in the greater ST.louis area?

17 straight hands is not really even close to as loose as ameristar gets. I've seen people there see every flop. Ameristar or Harrah's are the two best places to play by far.

Well its good to know it just wasn't my presence at the table that encouraged their play /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks for the response. I figured they were likely the two best. I've got some friends that play at the president...their SNGs at least...i've never much cared for that place and have never played poker there.

How long of a wait should I expect at 10:00 or so on this Sat. night?

i personally think that harrah's is a lot looser than ameristar, plus the food is better and there are more tables/less wait on average...

I prefer Harrah's as well. It doesn't take as long to get into games and I think the employees and managers are a lot more polite. The 3/6 games generally seem similar all over the city to me. But that's just been my personal experience and I haven't played live in 6 months or so.

I refuse to play on the President. That damn boat is going to sink any day now. That and the poker room manager who used to be a boxer is a total [censored].

Ameristar wait list for 3/6 at 10pm is going to be ridiculously long.

LOL!!! I'll have to tell him about this one.

I don't like that guy at all. Anytime I've seen someone have a differeing opinion on ANYTHING, he gets rude in a hurry.

I like Leroy. It's high comedy watching some drunken fratboy try to "explain things" to him.

Leroy doesn't start things. He just ends them. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Leroy is great poker room manager and a heck of a good guy.

I thought Leroy left the President several years ago? When did he come back?

Thank you,

But who spreads mid-limit games? I know Ameristar goes to 20/40 on weekends but what does Harrah's go up to?

I know he was there in March (my last visit). Can't say if he's still there now. With the President being on life support, I hope that Pinnacle does the right thing and hires him for one of their future poker rooms.

Either Ameristar or Harrah's is fine IMO. Ameristar has a (somewhat) bigger variety of limit games; the 5/10 hold em game is usually very good.

Leroy is there, he doesn't run the room, but he's there 5 nights a week.

ameristar spreads 20/40 on the weekends?!?!?
11-13-2005, 11:15 AM
I played harrah's last night...3/6...amazingly loose. 7 or 8 people calling 3 bets every flop. Oh...and many thanks to whoever suggested calling ahead. We called on our way and only had to wait for 15 min....good times.

What is the carding like at all of these casinos? Would I pass with a decent fake?

Not a chance. In order to enter MO casinos, you have to show a players card every time you enter. In order to get a players card, you have to present official ID at the front desk. Now if you had someone else's players card you still aren't clear. Security routinely goes around and cards young looking patrons even after they have entered the casino. They get a $50,000 fine from the State every time they are caught with a minor in the casino, so they take it pretty serious.

Couple weekends ago they had one going saturday night. Was my first time there so I'm not sure how often they spread it. The game was pretty good too.

Why never any mention of the $500 limit per "session"? Why never any mention you MUST HAVE AND SHOW a casino card to enter any gaming joint in Missouri? Why no mention the joints are not in operations 24/7? That's why I don't like gaming in Missouri. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well its $500 every 2 hours, not session. Yes it sucks but when you are looking for local cardrooms you are generally pretty limited.
