Niagara Falls -- both US and Canadian sides
So I Thought These three casinos needed their own thread as I play there in the summer time and enjoy these casinos. Here is some info that might help you out.
Canadian sideCasino Niagara Poker room is the lower limit casino. Play on one of the 12 tables, the Poker Room is open 24 hours on Saturday & Sunday and 12pm to 6am Monday - Friday. Contact our Poker Room directly at 905-353-7000 to reserve your seat. They will hold your seat up to 90 minutes. The main game here is 1-2 NL with a min max buy inn of 40 to 200, This might have changed.
Free parking at the garage as long as you get a player card, its a must during summer months. Games are great on the weekend with a lot of regs during the mid week.
FallsView Casino The nice casino and right up the street, with much higher limits. Play the perfectly suited hand in the comfort of Fallsview's luxurious Poker Room – the largest and most popular in Ontario. With high and low limits and crowd-pleasing games like Texas Hold'em. No-limit Texas Hold'em and Omaha, the action never stops! For your convenience and enjoyment, our Poker Room employs state-of-the-art shuffling technology and a fully electronic patron seating system. (905)371-7777. I believe the popular game here is 5/5 NL or 2-5NL with max buy in of 500, The buy ins could have changed. CALL AHEAD ON THE WEEKENDS! I do like the fact that they have Omaha going now, They do have limit as well but I am unsure of the limits they spread.
Both casino combine a BBJ. Get beat holding a Full House of Aces over Tens or better and you could win the Bad Beat Jackpot!
Seneca Casino on the American side
Visit our world-class Poker Room and try your hand at Texas Hold’em, Omaha and 7 Card Stud. Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel is the only Niagara Falls casino offering live Poker. And with 16 tables and all levels of play, it’s easy to get in the game.
The Poker Room is located on the first floor next to the Bus Lobby. To reserve your spot on the live game list, please call 716-278-6300 and you will be given one hour to claim your seat.They also have a BBJ. I wish I could add more info on this casino, but TBH I have not played there in a while and do not know the limits, but the Phone # should help out with any questions.
I am more of a fan of the Canadian side as during the summer I live in Canada and hate going back and fourth over the border to play in the States, plus the Seneca Casino is located in the ghetto and I am just not very impressed there. If your looking for the biggest games and action, Fallsview would be the best! You can also get free parking in their garage if you have a players card.
I hope this helps out and Can't wait for some trip reports from the Trio of casinos, Good luck everyone!

I wouldn't see the point if you want to play the only legal game in the vicinity. If you cross the border you will have to get interviewed regularly and one slip up with evasive answers and you will be black listed. You also will have to deal with higher fuel costs and wear and tear on your vehicle. If Seneca Niagara ever restarts their games that would be another story but that isn't happening as it would have happened a good year plus ago.
They probably hate full time poker players.
Everyone does 😃
True but border guards have got to hate poker players. I remember hearing about this guy who told the border guard he wanted to go to the US to grind poker and got denied. Before my poker road trip back in the day, I remember being interrogated hard and I told them I was planning to sight see and gamble (I didn't say play poker in case they would've correctly assumed I was planning to play for profit). Even one time when I flew to Vegas to play poker for just a few weeks they detained me, grilled me and almost made me miss my flight. It was during winter so unfortunately I couldn't use the WSOP as an excuse to be there for more than a normal length vacation.
In the summer of 2018 I got a new car, and roughly a week after I went on a road trip from Toronto to Scranton, PA for a baseball trip. (I had recently quit my job at this point and told them poker was my job)
I went through the Rainbow Bridge / Niagara Falls border crossing told them my story, they didnt believe a single word of it apparently, since who drives nearly 12 hours for a minor league baseball trip in a new car. (Yes im crazy)
I end up spending nearly an hour at the inspection office while they check / inspect my car. Eventually they let me go and my car is in worse condition in which I left it as they thought I was a drug mule LOL

If you had recently quit your job probably woulda been better to just say you're in between jobs and taking some time for yourself hence the trip.
That kind of rake is easily beatable with the right lineup. I don't know much of anything about these games here, but generally speaking peeps tend to overestimate the rake and underestimate what kind of game they sit in and how much impact that has. In a nitty game 10% capped at 5 can be unbeatable over the long run, in a good game 10% uncapped can be beatable.
Could Casino Niagara get a fish boom tomorrow chasing the Eclipse?
I don't think the demographics of eclipse chasers is similar to losing fish but you never know....:shocked:
I never went I was wondering if a regular would chime in, I guess not...
