Reno, NV / Lake Tahoe

Ive read some other threads on this and wanted to know the latest info on poker in Reno. Im planning to go this weekend and wanted to know where the best poker games are. And also poker tournaments if there are any good structures for them.

I want to play 1/2 NL, and tournaments upto around $100ish. Thanks

I was looking at Atlantis website and I saw the casino offers 3 dollars an hour in comps does anybody know what the rake structure is?

Also how many casinos in Reno have poker?

Thanks for all replies....

To put you, ChipsOmNom, on tilt, of course.

Pandemic is over. COVID will never go away as it is now endemic. Otoh as many predicted the virus has mutated to a much less dangerous form. Generally now is an upper respiratory infection. For vast majority it presents as a bad head cold.

So yes COVID as a rationalization for single blind games is over.

They don't still have 6 handed games, do they?

If not, it is odd that they wouldn't have gone back to two blind games, which have to be better for action.


Peppermill is spreading a 1/2 dealer choice mixed game on Monday at 4pm. The hostess didn't know many details but it looks like the same menu of games the old Atlantis game used to have.


What’s the min/max buy in at the Peppermill 0/3 game? And does it actually ever run?


Are there any decent PLO games in Reno? I am in town for a few weeks. Buyins around 500-1000 is best for me.

Jaime hosted at Atlantis and moved to Peppermill. Never played mixed at Atlantis but I would assume it’s the same. Dramaha 49, Tahoe Pitch and Roll (usually with a third split for a Bangui), 5 card Omaha double board, 5 card Omaha reverse (3 in hand, 2 on board), Bloody River, etc. Pretty much any game you can imagine that isn’t straight hold’em.

Also a 4/8 limit game Wednesday at noon.


I will be at Harvey's South Lake Tahoe, playing their NLH next week Thursday and Friday nights.

When I was there back in October, I kept an eye on the games in Reno at Peppermill and Atlantis by looking at the online waitlists and calling and talking with the pokerr room staff. It didn't seem like there was a lot of action in Reno.


The games at Harvey’s were really slow, maybe 20 hands per hour being dealt. Very often there were 4-5 people seeing each flop. And people taking a lot of time to act, chatting, etc.

Sounds like a really good game. How much did you lose?


-$1940 over 21 hrs ($1k in punts, and the rest just running cold).

At least I won $155 in 2 hrs at the Oaks in a quick stop on the drive up.

The only reason I stop at the Oaks on my way to Tahoe or Reno (or anywhere else) is to take cash out of my player's bank there.

I did it because rush hour traffic was awful and I wanted to wait it out.
