Garn 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hey guys, i am about to book a trip to Biloxi for April4-7. I h avent been down there since Katrina but I am looking for some action. I will be at the Imperial Palace where they apparently have a new poker room but I haven't found any info on their spread or anything. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
shinychicken 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Call down there and ask for the poker room. Then just ask what kind of games they normally spread. If you are going to play a lot, you might want to check on poker room rates (they are usually cheaper). Link to post Share on other sites

I will be at the Imperial Palace where they apparently have a new poker room but I haven't found any info on their spread or anything. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. ThanksHey, I'm from Biloxy(actually about an hour north) the first thing I would suggest is don't go to the IP go to the isle of capri, their poker room is alot nicer. The IP's is not really a room at all, they put a bunch of tables in the middle of the non-smoking slots area, so it's really loud and hard to concentrate. The isle offers a regular 1/2 No Limit game, and 1-4-8 nonstructured Limit Hold'em(really fun and easy to beat) plus a part-time 7 stud game, and they also will spread any game you ask for if they can get a full table for it. As for Ip I know they offer 1/2 No Limitand 4/8 Limit, but I'm not sure what else. Hope to see ya the tables!P.S. I hope you're not planning on leaving the casino unless you're just going to look at the damage, because there's really nothing else open yet. Link to post Share on other sites

herokid7 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 thanks man. any idea of if they have poker rates?I don't think they do, but I could be wrong. I'm close enough where I can just drive home every night, so I've never bothered to ask. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites

herokid7 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 is there anything else goin on there other than the IP. the websites of other casinos look like they aren't openalso, are the casinos getting much traffic?Three casinos open: the IP, the Isle of Capri, and the Palace(no poker room)2nd question: YES! They might actually be getting more traffic than they were before Katrina because there's nothing else to do, plus there are only three open. Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't do there this time.. but they had a room there before katrina hit.. don't know why they wouldn't now.I would call each casino before i went and ask them how many tables/rates they have... then go from there.

statedogg 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Don't go to the Isle the room is too small and the spreads are very limited. The IP has expanded there room in the last few weeks, while its not a "room" in itself its still better than the Isle. IP will take a intrest list for any game you want and they will actually advertise it. I play 6-12 but they offer 4-8, 10-20, sometimes 15-30 or 20-40. 1-2NL, 2-5NL, and Ive seen a 10-20NL. The IP also has a club open now, Club IP. Its decent although they have stopped letting you bring drinks into the club from the casino floor. Let me know how it goes. I'ts a lot of the old grand Biloxi players and staff running it. My biggets complaint is the tables are the worst poker tables ever. No felt, they are almost rubberized. Best praise, the weekend afternoon shift has some nice eye candy.As for nothing else being open, thats not true at all. Tell me what you are looking for and I'll tell you where to find it.

herokid7 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I haven't been to the Ip i awhile so they might have grown. They didn't have in glassed in either, but they might now. The Isle only does have 11 or 12 tables but I didn't think the IP had a lot more than that(they might now, though).

Players may re-buy until first break.Wednesdays: Limit Hold'em Poker Challenge: SAme times. $110 buy-in plus $5 optional dealer toke re-buy. Players start with 4500 in chips plus 500 for optional dealer toke. same round structure.Thursdays: No-Limit Hold'em Freeze Out: Same times. $55 buy-in plus $5 optional dealer toke.
