Thanks in advance

Casino in Montana is a deceptive term. Casinos in Montana usually consist of a few Video Poker and Video Keno machines a bar and Maybe a poker table. You will not find any casino games like Blackjack, craps or roulette, not even a real slot machine. Usually with Poker they get a game going a couple of times a week Maybe there is a designated poker night and they get a game going on that night, MAYBE.

There are some places I have seen that get a game going every day but I believe that would be the exception rather than the rule

Here is a link to all the places in Montana that are licensed to play poker (http://www.doj.mt.gov/gaming/statisticsreports/reports/fy2007/pkr_est.txt). I did a quick search on the list and there were several places in Eureka that were licensed but I did not see the one you are asking about. Do NOT assume that just because a place is on this list and licensed that there is going to be a game. A couple of months ago I was in Helena and went to at least 5 places that had a table but did offer poker any more and only found one place in town that had a game going during the week. Several other places that had a table never even got a game going during the week even though they were open and ready to go, this includes the Helena Bluff Magazine Card Room.

Thanks. I will call the place before we go there, to check if there is a pokergame.

drive an hour south of eureka to whitefish or kalispell and you will find lots of games.
montana has a law of 300 dollars max in the pot. so the games are smaller but action filled.
