OH BOY!!!!!!!!!
What else can I say? I love this place. It is one of two options in the Shreveport-Bossier City, LA area. I really enjoy playing here and I would recommend this poker room to anyone who wants to play a little poker.

| Atmosphere |
| |
The poker room is very spacious and it is non-smoking, which I enjoy. The room is on the bottom floor of the casino and in the back left corner when you go down the escalator once you get pass the security guards, who actually check and scan your IDs. Dont come here if you are not 21, you will not get in.
The tables have automatic shufflers. The restroom is nearby and if you hurry you wont miss a hand. I have this timing down and I hardly never miss a hand if I got to go to the restroom. I guess I could bring a Gatorade bottle, but I dont think the other patrons would enjoy that.

The dealers and poker room managers are very competent and they keep the games full most of the time and they are always aware of empty seats at the tables.

| Food and Drink |
| |
The drinks easy to get. A waitress comes by and ask each table for cocktails and you just tell her what you want and within 5 minutes you usually have what you ask for. I usually just get the brush to get me some food and they deliver it to the table and I just sit there like a slob and eat. Chicken Tenders and tater logs!!!MMMMM MMMMM Good.
I did notice a guy with a club sandwich the other day. I may try that next time.

| Wait Time/Overall Service |
| |
I usually call in and put my name on the waiting list when I am about 45 min. away and by the time I get there a new table is opening or a seat is available.
Fair Warning: I usually go on Saturday mornings and I get there about 10am. I have not played at night on the weekend at the casino, but I heard its rocking.

| Comps |
| |
The poker room does give poker room rates of $69 (Monday-Thursday), but on the weekends they dont offer any poker room rates. The poker room comps you $1 for every hour you play. Make sure you clock in AND out using your Total Rewards Card, also make sure that the computer reads your card. I have had problems with this and the manager had to key my number in.
You dont want to have a 13hr ($13) session wiped out due to computer problems. Cough Cough!!!
They do offer a BBJ. The rake is $1 a pot for the BBJ and $5 for the regular rake. $6 rake total in a white chip game. Rake is a killer.
