    Im goin to Harrahs in Chester tomorrow. I've heard it kinda sucks though, small cramped room, slow dealers, long wait lists, etc. But I figure if Im goin into Chester to get my crack fix might as well get my poker fix too.

    IMHO, the Sands sucks. The tables are ON the slots floor. Noise is horrible. Spoke to the pit boss, they only put in 11 tables because 'they didn't think poker would be so popular'. My Airy has its own room, and is expanding soon. Very soft players. I have a lakehouse 15 minutes away so I'm very happy.

    Been to the rivers in pittsburgh, it was crazy packed and hard to get on any table games. Poker had a waiting list of about an hour both times i have been. Some rules or kinda stupid but i expect that to change in due time. Most of the games i played in were juicy as hell.

    Went to Harrahs Chester twice this week, was better then I expected based on some negative reviews Ive heard. I went at night on a weeknite and during the day on a weekday. Waiting list was relatively long at night but it only took 20 minutes to get a seat. Waitlist was short during the day but took 15 minutes to get a seat. Play was weak for the most part, so that was good. Dealers were hit or miss, some were pretty good, some it was very obvious they were beginners. Rooms a decent sizes. Definitely didnt hurt that I only had to drive 10 minutes to get there instead of an 1hr 15min to get to AC.

    Game Play: ****/of 5
    Room: ***/5
    Dealers: **/of 5

    Overall, pretty middle of the pack poker room, but being only 10 minutes away I'll definitely take it.

    I was at Parx casino last night. They have 57 table games, no poker yet. Table minimums were $15 for Blackjack, 3 Card Poker and Roulette. $25 minimum for craps. Dealers weren't very good, still learning. Beverage service was good though, the girls came by often and most of them were hot. Their allowed up to 257 tables by PA law, and their poker room should be arriving in fall I think.

    Ty bluefin, saved me a trip. I was almost positive that they didn't have poker yet. (gotta stop listening to people.) That poker room better be great tho, I'm pretty sure that building is getting expanded also.

    Not trying to give you a hard time here, but a simple phone call or visiting their website would of cleared it up.

    Ive played there like 3-4 times already, Some dealers are good, some arent.... THe poker room is big enough, but for some reason they put all the tables so damn close to each other, instead of spreading out the active tables...
    overall, the play is a little worse than AC

    went to MOhegan Sun in Wilkes-Barre

    Room is nice-about 24 tables and secluded from most of the casino

    Play was HORRIBLE--too many all-in bets to count with top pair

    Some expected bad beats occur but game is much softer than online!
