Wildhorse Poker Roundup

  • I traveled to Phoenix for the NASCAR race this weekend (lol left turns) and decided to play poker while down here. I stayed/played at the Wild Horse Pass Casino which is technically in Chandler Arizona right out of Phoenix.

Arizona is an excellent state for any Texas holdem poker
player. Not only do you have plenty of poker rooms around the
state, all of which are based on Native American land, but
you’re also near Las Vegas should you ever get the urge to head
over the border and take a seat in the Aria or Bellagio.

Because of this proximity, you’ll also find that most of the
poker rooms in Arizona are like what they offer in Las Vegas,
which is really a good thing as Las Vegas is the gold standard
when it comes to running a seamless poker operation.

Most poker rooms offer tournament and cash games, and no
limit holdem is still the most popular variant played here. Many
casinos offer spread limit tables instead of no limit, however
the spread is large enough to make it essentially a no limit
game.

The best poker rooms in the state are based in Casino Del
Sol, Harrah’s, Fort McDowell, and Talking Stick. Talking Stick
is the biggest and best room and this is where you’ll find the
most action in the state. Some of the smaller casinos only offer
poker as an amenity, so don’t expect anything too special.
