Default The NEW Isle of Capri poker room in Lake Charles

Well, they finally opened and I went for a visit this past weekend. The room is at least 10 times the previous size! They have 17 tables set up right now with plans for more. I arrived Friday and they had several white chip games, 1-10/20, and 2-20/40 games going. They have eliminated the 10/20/40 game (THANK YOU!). The 10/20 starts Friday and runs through the weekend (usually at least 1 must move). The 20/40 starts Thursday and runs through the weekend also. The room, while not nonsmoking, is light years ahead of their former room. They actually have ventilation. It was not smoky at all. The tables are at this time spread out nice with plenty of room to walk around. Same old sandwiches and eggrolls. Get 'em fresh and you probably won't get food poisoning. Let 'em sit awhile and who knows!
Their biggest problem right now is the poor quality of the dealers. But, in their defense they are expanding and have just hired several new dealers. They will get better. They are talking about starting Saturday tournaments a couple times a month. Hopefully they will have them on the 2'nd and 4'th Saturdays of the month opposite Grand Casino Coushatta. If you go be sure and tell them to try and set them up opposite Coushatta. If you haven't been since they opened this new room you gotta go and see it. What an improvement!

Oh, I forgot to say....they had a 4/8 Omaha Hi game going Friday with average pots $100+ !!!!!! Unreal! Wish I was better at Omaha. [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
