Best Casino in Indiana?
I saw something about Blue Chip Casino and was wondering what the best Casino in Indiana is to play poker. I typically go to Windsor because my friends are underage, and it's closer to me.
However, I hate hate hate crossing the border and my friends will be 21 soon, so we need a new place to play (NOT DETROIT!!!). FWIW, I live in Ohio, about 1 hour north of Columbus. Also, I heard something about a boat on the Ohio river that has poker. Any info? |

Re: Best Casino in Indiana?
There are five boats on the Ohio and all have poker at the moment. Closest to you is Argosy in Lawrenceburg, IN. 12 tables. The next two don't have much action, Grand Victoria in Rising Sun, IN and Belterra, can't remember the town but it is next to the Markland Dam.
The largest poker room in the Midwest is at Caesar's IN near New Albany, IN (across the river from Louisville, KY). The fifth boat is Casino Aztar in Evansville, IN. If I was driving from Ohio and willing to travel that far, I would continue on to St Louis to play or head for Tunica. Casino Aztar's poker room isn't much but they do spread O/8 on Tuesdays. |

Re: Best Casino in Indiana?
Thanks. I see Argosy spreads $1/$3 NL... Do you know the cap buy-in on that game off the top of your head?
I cant seem to find it online. Also, do they spread Omaha Hi? It appears they do on some weekdays but im not sure when and how much. |

Re: Best Casino in Indiana?
Probably the best selection and size is Caesars Indiana in Louisville.
Argosy is smaller and waits can be longer, but it is closer to you and the games are just as fishy. Steamboatin - I was at Caesars on Friday night, but didn't get a chance to talk with you. You snuck out before I came over. Was that 2-4-4-8 you were playing or 2/5? |

Re: Best Casino in Indiana?
I think it was $2-4-4-8. I am playing lower for a while because I started running bad in September and it just recently started turning around. I am not afraid to send myself back down to the minor leagues if I think it is the right thing to do.
I rarely play NL but after the BB Jackpot goes out this time, I am going to start playing the baby NL. The limit games are not what they used to be. I think NL has taken a lot of the action players from the limit games. When I first started playing (about 5 years ago) the $10-20 game was strong. There would be two or three tables pretty much all the time. Now the 10-20 game will sometimes break early in the evening on a weekday. It still gets two or sometimes three tables on the weekends and I have noticed the lower limits have fewer players and less demand. So now that I have headphones and a hoodie, I guess I will be playing Allin poker. |

StepBangin, plenty of action in the Columbus and Cleveland areas at the charity nights. Been getting a good bit of 1/2 NL these days in Columbus.

Steam,
I was a little dissapointed that they did't run the 6/12 while I was there. I ended up stopping by Argosy and they run it regularly, but the 10/20 barely runs. Middle limit seems to be dieing. For the OP, you will be better served by going to Argosy. Much closer for you. |

Re: Best Casino in Indiana?
The $6-12 almost never goes. They are playing $5-10 from time to time but it isn't a strong game. I refuse to play because I don't like the single chip structure.
After the bad beat Jackpot ($114k today) hits, I am going to play the baby NL. Limit poker is not very healthy in Southern Indiana, IMHO. There are still limit games and I believe limit poker will continue but NL is where the action is. |
