Casino in New York

Canakris · #1 02-19-2007, 10:42 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm a new poster on this forum but reading it for quite some time. Before I ask my question I used the search function but didn't come across any info useful for me.

I'm from Belgium and travelling to NY in July for 3 weeks for work. As I am an avid poker player (1/2 2/4 NL) I'd like to play some poker at a casino in NY, since it is prohibited here in Belgium. Could some of you guys share me some good adresses or some tips to help me find what I'm looking for? I don't even know if it is possible to play at that low stakes in a casino [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], so really any information is much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Cana

I think you'll have to go to jersey for your fix.

Conn. is also an answer. The only Casino(s) in NY are in NY state. Turning Stone is near Syracuse. Foxwoods, the worlds largest casino (or atleast was) is in Conn. Moh. Sun is also in Conn.

There are other legal casinos in NY State located at race tracks (upstate, not NYC or LI), but they do not permit poker or table games by state regulation.

Cana,

You can take a day-trip by bus from New York to Foxwoods in Connecticut, or Atlantic City in New Jersey. It takes about 3 hours each way and costs under $30 round-trip. Some of these include coupons for free lunch and other perks.

I'd definitely recommend AC over Foxwoods. Schedule is way more flexible and AC is only a 2-2.5 hour ride. $31 round trip and you can get around 20 of that back at the casino you get dropped off at.

I was just at Foxwoods. Yeah... if you are in Manhattan definitely take the bus to AC. The bus depot right near Bally's in AC leaves very frequently so you can stay down in AC for as long as you want.

If you go to Foxwoods... you are stuck leaving according to the bus's schedule back since they don't run up there as frequently.

This coulnd't be any further from the truth. There are exactly half a dozen B&M casinos in NY all with poker, last time I knew.

If you want to play in the city, some local card rooms advertise in Meetup.com and Craig's List.

The guy who posted the link above might not have noticed, but it does not seem to have any listings.

I'm not sure what you mean. There is a full list of casinos/gaming establishments by location and type on the right side of the page.

If the OP is looking specifically for NY city, which he/she didn't specify other than NY, you won't find any cardrooms of legality there. Underground stuff only and posting about them here is not allowed per the FAQ. But yes, craigslist and other resources might have some stuff for you to peruse.
