State of the Games

305 rooms tracked · Week of Apr 7–13, 2026

Week-over-week cash game activity across 150+ rooms

143 people on a waitlist for a single $1/$3 game. Great Canadian in Toronto. They were running 11 tables and still couldn't keep up. That's the kind of demand we're tracking.

Low Stakes

$1/$2 – $1/$3

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa led the country — 25 tables at peak with a 47-deep waitlist. On a weeknight.

Parx Casino (outside Philly) — 22 tables, 33 waiting. The northeast low-stakes king.

Borgata in Atlantic City — 20 tables, 25-deep wait. For $1/$3. In 2026.

Mid Stakes

$2/$5 – $5/$10

Commerce Casino ran 15 tables of $5/$5 NLH with a 31-person waitlist. Twelve different game types under one roof. Nowhere else comes close.

Wynn $2/$5 NLH — 6 tables, 33 deep. The most reliable mid-stakes game on the Strip. Ran all 7 days.

Rare sighting: $2/$5 PLO at Bally's Twin River. Only ran one day. If you were there, you know.

High Stakes

$10/$20+

$200/$200 five-card PLO at Seminole Hollywood. The biggest PLO game on Bravo this week. One table. Nobody waiting. That's how you know it's exclusive.

10/25 PLO in Houston. 13 people waiting. Texas card rooms are where PLO goes to thrive.

5/10 PLO at Beau Rivage, Biloxi. 9 people waiting. PLO in Mississippi. The game is everywhere now.
