Everything you ever wanted to know about gambling

Going to Atlantic City and want to play some poker? Be sure to visit one of the best Atlantic City poker rooms. This short list should help you pick up the best poker room for your needs.

• 1.    Trump Taj Mahal
  Personally, I think that massive poker room at the Trump Taj Mahal is simply supreme. You’ll find there over 80 tables with the most versatile range of games and limits anywhere in Atlantic City. You can of course play Hold’em, as well as seven-card stud and Omaha hi-lo, with limits varying from $1/$2 no-limit Hold’em to $75/$150 limit stud and everything that falls in between. Taj Mahal also host both sit-and-gos and daily tournaments.
• 2.    The Borgata
  The experience you’ll find in the new 85-table Borgata poker room is something completely different from the Taj. It’s much more of a Las Vegas style poker room – clean, new and fancy, with automatic card-shufflers at each table. The majority of played games is Texas Hold’em with stakes beginning at $2/4 in limit and $1/2 for no-limit tables.
• 3.    The Tropicana
  The Tropicana, also called “trop” by its regulars, is another great poker room on the boardwalk. It’s a really well-run which provides customers with a wide range of games at their 43 tables. You can also play their unique “pink chip” game which uses special $2.50 pink chips in a $7.50/$15 hold’em game. Tropicana also holds sit-and-gos all week, as well as daily tournaments.
• 4.    Showboat
  Another recommended boardwalk poker room is Showboat. I appreciate it primarily for their cheap, freeze-out, no-limit hold’em tournament that takes place on Saturday nights. At $75, it’s the cheapest opportunity to play poker tournament on Saturday night, and typically at least 70 people are present to enjoy it. When you bust out, there are still lots of tables and games to play.
• 5.    Ballys: Billy’s Poker Room & Wild Wild West Poker Room
  These are actually two separate rooms, but the Wild Wild West (or simply WWW) is where tournaments are played while Billy’s Poker Room is designed for the live cash poker games. All game at Bally’s are Hold’em, and there may be some trouble finding limit games other than $2/4, but there is plenty of no-limit action at Billy’s. The Sit-and-gos at WWW start every two hours and are a fast and good bang for making some money.
