Harrah’s Poker Room in Atlantic City is the second most popular room in the entire home, trailing only Borgata’s poker room in size and popularity. If you are staying at Harrah’s, you will not need to travel to any other casino if you want to play poker. The only real lacking element of this room is the void of higher limit games. Harrahs Poker Room offers combined bonuses with other Caesars Entertainment (CET) properties. The Mega Beat Progressive Poker Jackpot and a '20 for 20' Freeroll tournament are big attractions for.
The Harrah’s poker room only spreads one game with any regularity. That is 1/2 no-limit Hold’em. It spreads five daily tournaments, each with the same format.
There is little special about the Harrah’s poker room. It is a typical poker room in a value casino on the Strip. Tables have automatic shufflers, phone chargers, and free wireless internet.

Craps and roulette have $10 minimum bets. Craps odds are 3-4-5 times. The Field pays double on 12. Roulette is spread with two or three zeros. We recommend double zero, as the house edge is about 2.5% lower.
