Chasers Poker Room Posts 18-Deep Waitlist on Three Tables

Eighteen names on the waitlist, three tables running, one small poker room in Salem, New Hampshire.

As of 4 p.m. ET on May 20, Chasers Poker Room's $1/$3 no-limit hold'em game is carrying a waitlist of 18 players against just three open tables. That's a ratio of roughly 6:1 — more than 2.5 times the room's median waitlist of seven.

Eighteen names on the waitlist, three tables running — Chasers is posting a 6:1 ratio that more than doubles its own median.

The Numbers in Context

A waitlist of 18 at a room running three tables means enough demand to immediately fill three more tables and still have players waiting. At most mid-sized rooms, a ratio above 2:1 signals a hot night. Chasers is sitting at 2.57x its own median — on a regular afternoon, not a tournament day or a holiday.

This isn't appearing out of nowhere. New Hampshire just recorded its most demand-dense night in Charlotte's tracking history. The fact that Chasers is surging again the very next day suggests the Granite State's appetite isn't a single-session anomaly.

What's Running

The game is straightforward: $1/$3 NLH, the bread-and-butter stake for most regional card rooms in the Northeast. No PLO side game showing. No higher stakes listed. Just three tables of $1/$3 absorbing whatever portion of that 18-deep list they can.

For context, a median waitlist of seven already means Chasers regularly has players lined up. Hitting 18 is a different tier — that's the kind of number you'd expect from a Vegas room running a promotional series, not a New Hampshire card room on a regular afternoon.

Why It Matters Beyond Salem

Regional rooms outside traditional poker corridors rarely generate this kind of per-table demand. When a three-table room in southern New Hampshire is posting waitlist ratios that would raise eyebrows at a Strip property, it's worth watching whether management adds capacity — or whether players start driving the 30 miles south to Boston-area options instead.

The signal is simple: New Hampshire poker demand is running hot, Chasers is at the center of it, and the waitlist isn't lying.
