Cash Poker Activity Analysis – South Central Region

Poker Pilgrims is happy to continue our Cash Poker Table Activity analysis. We recently completed collecting data on cash poker table activity across the South Central US. This region includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Missisippi, and Oklahoma. Other South Central states (such as Tennessee and Alabama) do not allow for legal live poker at this time.

Our page with South Central results is now live.  Cash Poker Activity can be accessed via the drop-down menus at the top of the homepage (under Poker Room Information). Note that there are filters on the page for venue, day, or game ($1/$2, $2/$5, PLO, or Other).

Sites such as Poker Atlas and Bravo Poker Live offer users the ability to see the current numbers of cash players at a venue at any given time. However, they do not allow you to plan your next poker visit in advance. Currently, if I want to know how many $1-$2 no-limit tables the Monarch Casino gets on a Thursday evening, there is nowhere to go to find that information. Poker Pilgrims hopes to fill that gap. Whether you are figuring out where to play poker next weekend, or where to plan your next poker vacation, our cash poker table activity pages will hopefully be of help.

South Central US Region Cash Poker Analysis

As of Fall 2022, there are 24 poker rooms in the South Central US with 6 or more tables that report cash poker table activity to either Bravo Poker or Poker Atlas. There are few poker rooms in the South Central US that do not report to either Bravo or Poker Atlas. The Paragon Casino in Louisiana  with 8 tables and the Grand Casino Resort in Oklahoma with 19 tables are the only rooms  in the region currently open with more than six tables that is not reporting cash activity to either website.

Oklahoma is clearly the biggest poker state in the region. The Winstar World Casino and Riverwind have by far the greatest number of active $1/$2 tables on weeknights. These rooms, along with the Choctaw Durant also dominate weekend play. In New Orleans, Harrahs also gets up to 8 $1/$2 tables on the weekend. Across the region, only the Winstar sees more than one or two $2/$5 tables on any given night, and most rooms outside of Oklahoma see none. PLO games are also rare across the region and almost non-existent on weeknights. You’re best bet for PLO on the weekends is the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Games beyond low no-limit holdem and the occassional PLO game are rare to non-existent across the region. Your best bet for Limit poker and higher value games are the Coushatta Casino in Louisiana and the Winstar World Casino in Oklahoma.

Our Plan

Our poker table cash activity pages will be updated regularly.

In the past year, we have tracked cash poker activity across the country. In areas where a poker player has options, this information, along with room reviews and poker tournament activity can help you make a discerning choice. Be patient with us as we work to populate these tables. In the meantime, feel free to visit our  Cash Poker Activity page and see how many tables your favorite room hosts on an average Saturday night. Or check out our Map of Poker Rooms in the US if you are wondering “are there poker rooms near me?”.
