Harrah's Resort (Atlantic City, NJ)

Original OP:

OK, thought it was time we had a Harrah's thread. I'm by no means a regular, but regular enough. I''m hoping all the other regs on here can step in and give some good room updates, BBJ updates, promos etc. Maybe we can even discuss what kind of comps we're getting etc. Action on different days of the week would be great, players, dealers, fights, etc. all the stuff we lovet to talk about anyway, just pertaining to harrahs AC !!!!

Thread FAQ (by Lovesantiques):

Welcome to the Harrah's Atlantic City thread!

This is where all the posts regarding poker at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City should go.

Some basic information:

Harrah's has a poker room with 40 tables.

Daily cash games include:

1/2 NLHE
2/5 NLHE
2/4 LHE
2.50/5.00/7.50 Pink Chip Limit Hold'em
4/8 miniblind ($1 and $2 blinds, 4/8 betting structure) LHE
and the increasingly popular $7.50/$15.00 Pink Chip Omaha hi/low and Stud hi/low mixed game (1/2 hour of Omaha alternating with 1/2 hour of stud, both with 8 or better lows.)

Friday nights, and some Saturday nights, there is also a 5/10 NLHE game that has been going the past couple of weeks.

Currently, the 2/4 LHE game pays 10 tier credits per hour plus 50 cents an hour in comps. Should it ever go again, the 1-5 spread limit stud game also will pay this.

The 1/2 NLHE game, the 2.50/5.00/7.50 Pink Chip game, and the 4/8 miniblind game all pay 20 tier credits per hour plus $1 an hour in comps.

The 2/5 NLHE game along with the $7.50/$15.00 OE game pay 40 tier credits per hour plus $2 an hour in comps. Any games spread that are higher in limits than these would get the same comps and tier credits per hour.

There is a poker rate available for room nights, but it is on a first come first served as available basis. Ask at the podium as to the availability on any given night.

The poker room rates are:

Sunday through Thursday nights is $25 per night.
