Plenty of Tournaments and a New Pennsylvania Poker Room this January
If you’re a poker fan, January in Pennsylvania just got better. PA poker players got a new poker room and a handful of exciting tournaments with tempting prize pools. On top of live poker action, the Keystone state also has several online poker tournaments.
New Poker Room in Wind Creek Casino
Bethlehem’s Wind Creek casino presented a new, improved poker room containing 20 tables. Among amenities, the new poker room has a dedicated cage cashier, massage service, and a lounge area for waiting players. The new room is located in the corner of the casino floor.
The Wind Creek Bethlehem continues to invest in customer experience since acquiring the casino in 2019. Previously the company rebranded two restaurants and invested $160 million in a ballroom and conference space project. While there are no official tournaments, the poker room offers several $250 high hands between 6 and 11 on Sunday.
New Mystery Rush Event at Rivers Philadelphia
Notable Philadelphia poker room hosts another Mystery Rush event. Unique format awards players as they are knocked out on day two. You can win lucrative prizes up to $25,000.
