I played there a couple of weeks ago. They spread 3/6 limit and 1/2 and 2/5 no limit. The max buys in at 1/2 and 2/5 are $100 and $200 respectively. At 1/2 you pay $5 per half hour in 'session fee' and at 2/5 you pay $7. The game and the room is lousy, it's a long ways from everything and it smells like an old cigarette all the time even though they don't allow smoking. The dealers are adequate but the tables and chairs are in lousy shape. The whole casino is awful, in my opinion.

I give it a D- grade.

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

I was just at Casino Windsor over the weekend. Don't go. The session fees for the 1/2 NL are $6 per half hour, not 5. Most players are loose beyond loose, which normally is cool, but not when you have to make around 10 bb/hour to profit in any way due to session fees. The dealers were terrible while I was there. They would say kickers in play when they weren't, read bet sizes incorrectly, not notice when the players did not move the button themselves, etc. Especially considering they have automatic shufflers, the dealers should be able to pay attention to the button. Tables and chairs were really uncomfotable for someone my height (6'2"). Most of the casino is under construction and it really is just not that great. I had more fun playing partypoker in my hotel room than I did with the senior center that was the poker room.

Although the whole casino is now smoke free, so major plus for that.

As for the nightlife, its decent. There is an enormous population of 19-20 year old kids from Michigan and Ohio, for obvious reasons. Just don't get too drunk and walk 20+ blocks in the opposite direction from your hotel like I did. That was a hike.

Yeah im 19 from cincinnati so im looking forward to the nightlife, but I also wanna gamble and make some money...

Do they have limit?

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

Alright.. Im a regular at casino windsor... im there prolly a few times a week... ive been going since i was 19 and im 21 now.. Like what was said before they offer 3/6 limit which is an EASY game normally at least 5 players per flop who are ready to suck out on you... but the game can easily be beaten.. its still not as bad as the other posts are making it seem.. i actually like it better than the casinos here in mich.. but the other posters had it right it is a senior citizen poker room lots of old guys with mad cash who dont care about calling at any instance.. Also there short staffed.. so there could be VERRRY long lines on the weekends... i went last weekend and it was 36 ppl deep for 3 6 and there were only 2 tables and they wernt opening anymore... so thats what sucks.. the session fees are stupid because the dealers deal slower in the 1/2 games u prolly dont even get a full orbit with the 30 mins.. so it becomes rather expensive..

The Nightlife is amazing... specailly on the strip there are like 15 different clubs to go into.. and there are AMAZING girls there to.. Bentleys, Woodys, Voodoo, and Rush are a few of my favs!... Stay away from Dantes... REALLY bad place... hope this helps!

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

Since turning 19, i have been frequently Windsor pretty often. And its rather upsetting that they never have been able to get a bigger limit game going then 3/6 and even then usually only 1-2 tables of 3/6 so the waits are bad.

For NL the 1/2 and the 2/5 games have been good and they move through the lists quick there, and i mean very quick, they call your name, and then last call it in the same breath, so you have baout 30 seconds to take a seat or they move on.

Also the lists are electronic, the tabels have shufflers (msot of them) and cup holders bulit into. I thought theroom was relativly nice and well run actually.

However, the Limit games there suck as 3/6 was it. Although I did get in a really great 10/20 round by round hold em' and omaha. And thier 500min NL game is also a gold mine.

Game quality = great, but not really a great place if you want to play limit like me.

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

Anyone have experience with the 5/10 and 10/20 NL games there?

500 min NL????
2 questions.
Is there a max buy in? and whats the blinds at the 500 min?

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

500 min is usually 10/20 uncapped I believe, the 200max is 2/5 and the 100max is 1/2.

I like the room, the autoshufflers are pretty nice, the players are pretty stupid, I can't believe people are ragging on it.

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

The 500 Min usually only gets going on the weekends. It's super soft.

So you could bring 29853495092384902349028342980 dollars if you wanted to?

What do you suggest bringing to the table? and what do you suggest playing the 500min or 200max? Its between those 2 for me or possibly a 10/20 limit game if they have it

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

As others have said, the 500min game from the few times I have played in it has been super soft, and the 10/20 round by round has also been very soft.

The 200max game is a must move and can be very soft as well.

Enjoy the 500min, easy money to be made there.

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

Game is horrible. I can make more on the 200max game here. Stay away.

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

PLEASE more info on the 10/20 500 min game.

The 10/20 $500 Min starts at 8pm on saturdays. You can bring Eleventy Billion dollars to the table. You could also bring $500 and if you can even just spell poker, then you should be able to walk out with Eleventy Billion dollars

Stanksi, you're not the dude that orders the "Apple (or Orange) Tea with double honey" are you? I meant to ask "that" guy if he was a 2+2er. If you arent him, do you know him?

How the heck can you beat the rake???
 

If you're paying $6 / half hour for 1/2.

How the heck can you beat the rake?

For 1/2 that's 6 BB / hour = 18 BB /100 hands

Anyone a long term winner (10,000 to 30,000 hands) at that game?

2/5 looks better, rakes is probably about 10BB/100 hands, but still...

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?

When you can average $50 an hour, its pretty easy to beat the rake :-D

Seriously, its more of a deep stack game after the table has been open for an hour or so. It plays like its a bigger game, with raises preflop reaching $20-$25 and the average stack at the table being $300.

I personally have won 8 buy-ins in less than 8 hours on 2 different occasions there. I have played there about 20 times in the last 2 years and have 4 losing sessions, the biggest losing session was less than $300.

Its typical to walk away with $300-$400 by just playing extremely tight

Re: What are the games like in Windsor?
 

10/20 uncapped is a FUN game. Also, IIRC they had some 2/5 tables with a 500 max buyin, which makes the game a lot better.
