Also, slots and ETGs (electronic table games) will be available for players waiting for their turn, in addition to ‘No Limit’ and ‘Limit’ stakes at various levels, all of which add to the exciting gameplay. Moreover, the addition of bigger poker tournaments will also be a major attraction in the new poker room.
For players looking for an enhanced gaming experience, the poker room will feature four tables located in a semi-private area. In addition, this exclusive part of the room will serve higher stakes games and final tables, setting up a private environment for the players involved.
