Harrah's St. Louis contains a brand new poker room near the Island Casino entrance. The room was just opened in April 2006 and contains about 20 tables. The room is completely separated from the rest of the casino by large glass windows, to keep smoke out and so railbirds can watch. Open 8am -5am on weekdays and 24 hours on weekends.

Limit hold 'em

 * $3/6 - Nearly all the limit games, run constantly, $4 max rake and $1 bad beat jackpot drop, typical no fold'em hold'em
 * $10/20 - Usually run only on weekends
 * $30/60 - One table run on weekends

No-limit hold 'em

 * $1-2 blinds, $200 max. buyin, run constantly, $4 max rake
 * $2-5 blinds, $500 max. buyin, run constantly
 * $5-10 blinds, run very rarely due to $500 max buyin every 2 hours (Missouri law)

Other Games

 * $5-5 Mixed game on weekends (no-limit hold' em and pot-limit omaha)

Comps
$0.75 / hour

Other
Bad beat jackpot at $3/6 games.

Daily tournaments ranging from $25 buyin to $500 buyin.

Aces Cracked every morning at 8am, the first five times that pocket aces lose each day at a $3/6 game, the loser receives $100 from the bad beat drop

If you sit at a table near the cage, the showgirls run back and forth from Ibar to the dressing room located behind the poker room.
