Hold'em at Atlantis

ChrisEuph · #1 08-22-2005, 10:55 PM

I am leaving on Wednesday for Atlantis in the Bahamas. I have looked around the net and can't seem to find any signs of nl or limit poker there. Does anyone know of any cardrooms or places to play cash games and tourney's?

Thanks

atlantis might have 4 poker tables according to casinocity.com, but you'd better call ahead.

nothing else in that country far as I can tell, though.

Apparently it is illegal to gamble on poker in the Bahamas. The WPT event there got a 5 day permit to hold the event. I was there last June and disappointed to find no cardroom. The casino isn't that big and it gets ultra crowded at night. I am going back in December and was hoping that the tournament would inspire them to revise their laws, but I don't see it happening. Whatever, golf at Ocean Club.

peace,

I was at Atlantis 3 weeks ago

No poker in the whole casino, I even asked an employee to make sure

was reduced to playing craps

They got a special temporary exemption so they could hold that event.
