cubsfan04 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 If your looking to play poker. I believe Hollywood in Aurora is the only one in IL. Indiana has Resorts and Horseshoe. All 3 uaually have pretty soft games. The 10/20 limit game at Hollywood is full of fishes. As far as gambling goes I like Victoria in Elgin Link to post Share on other sites

Edcoach 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The Empress in Joliet is great, believe it has Poker...it is appx 30-40 mins from Chicago depending on traffic. Link to post Share on other sites
AcesUp46 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The Majestic II (formerly the Trump) and Resorts are about 40 mins from downtown Chicago, but with the construction on the Dan Ryan, it could be over an hour. Both are in Northwest Indiana.Majestic II basically spreads 2 games, 3-6 Holdem and 200 max (2-5 blinds) NL HE. On weekends, you'll find a 6-12 Holdem and a bigger NL cash game in addition to the above. At Resorts, they spread a lot of games, 1-5 Stud, 2-10 Stud, 5-10 Holdem, 10-20 Holdem, 20-40 Holdem, 500 max (5-10 blinds) NL and bigger NL cash games. All the games are juicy at the Resorts and Majestic II. Of course, you'll get really sick beats at the 3-6 Holdem game.best of luck. Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 nice, I just moved back myself. Though, getting me to go to Gary or East chicago most likely won't happen. potowatomi in miluakee is also around though, its not that far from chicago Link to post Share on other sites

The Czar 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm on the north side. That's why I basically play exclusively on the Internet. It's a PITA drive to any casino. Link to post Share on other sites
NoSup4U 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Move back to Phoenix!Agreed!!! The poker rooms in Chicago SUCK compared to Casino AZ baby!!!I've played in Potowatotami or whatever in Milwaukee. Its about an hour and a half from downtown Chicago. Small but decent. Only had one NL table.Also played at the Majestic Star II or whatever its called in Indiana, about 30/40 mins from downtown Chicago. It was big, but miserable. The dealers were horrible, and the time charge seemed excessive, but thats the only place I've ever played with a time charge so ???So yeah, move back to Phx :)Mark Link to post Share on other sites

The operator told me that they don't have a poker room, so either the website is wrong or the casino lady is wrong.I do suspect however that the website is in preparation for a new boat. Some of the dealers at Resorts were talking about Horseshoe getting a new boat with a poker room, so the website could be jumping the gun.As far as I know, Horseshoe does NOT currently have a poker room.
