Poker rooms in the US with 1-5 Stud?

Salmon · #1 10-04-2006, 09:41 AM

Hello, everyone.

I am a new poster here with a question about 1-5 Stud. I used to play a bit in Atlantic City a long time ago and I also played at one of the river boat casinos in Missouri. I understand the game is dying out but does anyone have a list (or partial list) of poker rooms outside Las Vegas that currently spread the game?

Thank you,

Salmon

Tunica: I was last in Tunica in January. I played 1-5 (with $0.25 ante) at the Horseshoe. I also played 2-10 at the Grand, but my understanding is that stud at either the 1-5 or 2-10 level runs sporadically in that room. I believe 1-5 runs sometimes (generally during the day when the old men are in the room) at the Gold Strike. I don't believe Sam's Town or Hollywood spread stud.

Casino Aztar in Evansville, Indiana was always running one or two tables of 1-5 Stud a few years ago, but I haven't been there in about 2 years so it could have disappeared.

Harrah's in Metropolis, Illinois and Casino Aztar in Caruthersville, Missouri have never run the game, to my knowledge. The floorman at Harrah's laughed when I asked about anything non-holdem being spread. The Missouri Aztar has a stud table and would theoretically spread it if there was interest, but I've never seen it happen.

It is still played some at the Taj and Harrahs in AC. Used to be real big in AC.

Both 1-5 and 1-3 go at Foxwoods in CT, both with a .50 ante, too, which makes for a good game.

Thanks for the information, guys. I really enjoyed 1-5 Stud when I played it in AC and only recently started playing face-to-face again. I might have to check out the Horsehoe at Tunica.

BTW - what's the closest airport to Tunica?

Tunica has a small airport, Memphis, TN is the closest major airport, about 30 minutes north.

BTW, Tropicana in AC still has $1/5, as does Bally's.
I've heard the Hilton & Borgata will sometimes get 1/5 going. Taj & Harrah's have multiple games going every day.

Biloxi in Miss. has several 1/5 stud games with no ante.
