Reviews of poker rooms across the country
The Horseshoe Baltimore poker room is not as highly publicized as its neighbor 15 minutes south, Maryland Live! and it doesn’t have the buzz of the newer MGM Grand National Harbor. But Horseshoe’s status as a “downtown” casino, with access to other activities of a major city, was intriguing. Given the good value tournaments scheduled…
The Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races poker room, as with our recent visit to the Mount Airy poker room, was part of a larger venture to an out-of-the-way location. We recently shared our trek through West Maryland including this short venture into West Virginia. If you’re headed out to the Holywood Casino at Charles…
MGM National Harbor is one of two major poker rooms in the Baltimore-Washington area. While Maryland Live! sits beside BWI airport just minutes from Baltimore, MGM is on the Maryland-Virginia line, close to Washington, DC.

We knew we’d have to fight the infamous Florida traffic to get there, but we were hoping that Daytona would prove…
The Ocala Gainseville Poker room is one of several central Florida options for poker. Sited in an old Jai Alai facility that still offers simulcasting, the poker room is easily the most appealing feature of the building. Ocala Gainesville’s nearest neighbor is Oxford Downs, and there is clearly a lot of overlap in players across…
