The Showboat Poker Room- Atlantic City

  

by Bluff Staff


January 2006

  • It’s the AC baby! The east coast gambling mecca is never short on action. World-class entertainment, the beach, nightlife and deep sea fishing, Atlantic City has it all.
  • It’s a House of Blues poker room. It’s like you’re playing poker in a New Orleans blues bar.
  • Speaking of House of Blues, if you take a bad beat, stroll right over to catch LL Cool J, or whoever’s in town, while you cool off.
  • If you win big and want to hit the clubs, you don’t even have to leave the building. Club Worship has two dance floors, two bars, and two floors of private seating.
  • It’s one of the newest poker rooms in AC, opening in July 2005.
  • Vito Casucci. He runs the Showboat poker room, and is both a class-act and a Bluff personal favorite. If have any problems, just ask for Vito.
  • $200 WSOP satellites run every Saturday.
  • The Showboat is home to a World Series of Poker Circuit Tournament. Greg Raymer hosted the 2005 version and if it’s good enough for the Fossilman, it’s good enough for us.
  • There’s no dress code. Grab your baseball cap, Reebok pumps, and “I’m with stupid” t-shirt. Anything goes here.
  • The Showboat cocktail waitresses rock! No…really!
  • VITO’S CASSUCI, POKER ROOM MANAGAER

    Vito Cassuci“We’re located right across from the music hall. There’s 250 shows a year that are right there. They cue the lines for the music hall right out front of the poker room. From Tony Orlando, to Slipknot, to Eminem, to Megadeath…we have it all going on right out in front.”

    “The no limit taxas hold ‘em, [is the most popular game] for sure. The $1/2 game is really busy. That’s what all the younger people and the college kids want to play.”

    “It’s a tough market with the Taj Mahal, the Borgata, and the Tropicana that have been the mainstays here in Atlantic City forever. It’s hard living right next door to places like that, but we’re finding our niche.”
