"You must be 18 years of age or older to enter into the Mardi Gras area."
"Children under 16 must be attended by parents at all times; however, anyone under 18 is not permitted in mutuel lines or gaming areas."

FYI - Mountaineer website says you must be 21 to enter the poker room.

Im dumb, but what does "with a minimum bet of $2 to $4" mean? No one 1/2?

[ThunderEagle]

It means they have a 2/4 Limit game. Obviously, there isn't a bet limit on NL games.

Minor threadjack, but is any of the other WV casinos getting poker? Quite a drive from MD (although its probably shorter than Atlantic City).. just trying to find one closer to go to.

Local news was saying that the limit games were going to be 2/4 limit and 10/20 limit. If they do spread 10/20 successfully then /drool.
Else I'm sure there will be plenty of 1/2 NL and hopefully 2/5 or higher.
Will give trip report tomorrow.

For you Wheeling will be closer. It is right off of I-70 in Wheeling. Mountaineer is closer for those coming from the north such as Cleveland and Youngstown. I am not sure how much closer though since getting to Mountaineer is like traveling through "Deliverance" country since there are no major roads leading to it. ;-)

Trip reports from all, please!

10% to $5- is that with a jackpot drop, or straight rake?

Who operates that facility?
