ChiTown poker (1 Viewer)

I need to fly into Chicago a day early (Sunday) before some meetings and was wondering what the casino poker scene was like there. I'm seeing these properties pop up on a Google map but was curious what people had for feedback regarding each room:

- Horseshoe Hammond
- Harrah's Joilet
- Hollywood Casino
- Grand Victoria Casino
- Rivers Casino
- Ameristar East Chicago

Anyone have any inside info on these rooms?

Horseshoe Hammond has probably the best poker room in the area. That being said I haven't played in Joliet in quite a long time and don't know if they have revamped there very small, very cramped poker area. If I remember correctly one of the tables was under a set of stairs. I also have not played in Rivers or GV either but have never heard anyone talk about those rooms being better than the 'shoe.

If you go to Harrah's, harvest all the quarters you can carry.

- Horseshoe Hammond
- Harrah's Joilet are both nice and plenty of action. I believe the 1-2 at HOrsehose is min 100 max 300 The Joliet table is 50 min 200 max. Check Bravo poker for availability

Others are - meh

Rivers does not have a poker room. its $25 blackjack and craps (rarely a $15 min, nothing lower)

Shoot me a message if you hit the Harrahs Joliet, I live 10 minutes away
