Great room, a little crowded, but very fun with a friendly staff.

Chairs and Table were comfortable, tables themselves are a little to close. Seem's like they are trying to put to many tables in to little of a room.

Very friendly and very helpful!

Everytime you look up there is somebody walking by asking if you would like drinks. Food is nearby, I'm sure you can eat in the room, just didn't see anybody doing it.

Great wait list, it's all computerized, so you can look to see how far down the list you are, and what games are being offered. You can call ahead and put you name on the list, it will stay on the list for 1 hour. I signed up for a 3/6Limit game and was 8th on the list, my wife was 7th, they opened a new table for us to all play on so we didn't have to wait. Total wait time was probably less than 10 minutes.

They offer a players advantage card, great way to rack up points for playing poker, or slots. You can also register to win cash and prizes.

They have 12 tables but rumor has it, they will have more when they get their new boat. They primarily spread $1-3 NL with a $300 max buyin. On a Friday night, they may have seven of the twelve tables spreading this game. They spread limit holdem, $3-6, $6-12 and $10-20 and occasionally a $5-10 Omaha hi/low eight or better game with a full kill. Your best chance to play Omaha 8 is Wednesday afternoon. They rake their NL games and do not charge like Caesars IN.

The dealers are average or better than average and the floor is very helpful so I have no issues with either.

The room is very busy on Friday and Saturday afternoons/evenings so go early or expect to wait.

Last time I was there, I thought their comps weren't very good but my information is dated.

Argosy's card room has the most action out of the three closest casinos. They always offer a nice variety of no limit and limit games. We've never been there and not found the game we wanted to play. I don't remember a time when they weren't offering at both $1/3 and $2/5 NL and $3/6 and $6/12 FL. In addition, they usually offer $5/10 NL and $10/20 FL, occasionally spreading Omaha as well – weekends being your best bet for that.

The room could be a bit larger to accomodate the amount of tables they utilize, but given that it was added into the existing boat, it is still a nice card room. I'm hoping that when their new boat is up and running (I'm told now that it will be 2009) that it will alleviate some of the space issues. The tables are nice and still on the newer side at around a year old. The chairs are relatively comfortable – most chairs get uncomfortable after 7 hours or so! There are really only three things that are ever issues for me with that card room and I think both will be corrected on the new boat. First, the ladies restroom is on the complete opposite end of the boat. Actually, the mens room isn't that close either, but much closer in relation to the ladies room. Second, it can get a bit unpleasant at the outer perimeter of the card room on the weekends when it is extra smokey in the casino. People tend to stand right outside the card room and the smoke is bound to come in from that close. (Maybe that wouldn't bother some people, but it's bad if you have allergies.) Lastly, if you go to the Argosy, no matter what time of year it is, take a sweater or jacket. I swear sometimes you could hang meat in there! Men complain about the temperature in there too at times, so I know it's not just me!

My husband and I are at Argosy's poker room a minimum of once a week. We were there practically daily the first months they were open in 2006. All of the floor supervisors and the majority of dealers there in the evenings/late nights know us by name. They are, with few exceptions, very friendly and they keep the lists and games moving as quickly and effieciently as possible. The dealers know the games well and are able to handle anything thrown at them. No complaints here!

Most of the time the cocktail servers are around what seems like every 10 minutes. On exceptionally busy nights, you may wait 20 minutes to a half hour between server visits, but that is rare. There is a bar located very close the poker room for those nights. Late nights or weeknights are your best bets for getting food service from the cocktail servers. Most times they are simply too busy to run up to the next floor for a sandwich, but that snack shop is just up above the poker room and they will hold your seat for up to an hour and 15 minutes if you want to take a break for food or just to take a break from poker. You just post your missed blind(s) when you return.

They have an electronically displayed wait list that shows limits, which tables are running what games and names. Everyone at the front desk is helpful and friendly and you just give your first name and last initial if you're waiting within earshot, as they announce names when seats are ready. If you care to go to the other levels for table games or slots while you're waiting, they'll hold you're driver's license and give you a pager. They can usually give you a fairly accurate estimate on your wait time when you sign up for a game. I know for sure that regular players there can call ahead to be added to the list, I'm pretty sure anyone else can too. You just let them know when you arrive so they can check you in, otherwise, if you're more than an hour your name falls off the list, so be sure to check in! On most weeknights you won't wait much longer than 15 – 20 minutes for a table. I'd say by Thursday the wait starts to get a bit longer. Most Fridays and Saturdays, though, you could be waiting as long as 1-1/2 – 2 hours. On those nights it's best to get there early in the evening or call ahead. In recent weeks, I've heard people who are getting there later talking about how they waited in line to actually get onto the boat itself and then they had to wait for a seat as well. Not to worry, though, they have games running all night and they don't usually start thinning out until 3 am or later. They may have to combine a table or 2, but they are always running.

Right now, you get $1 per hour of play. Your comp points can be used for any of the restaurants at Argosy, and you can get a ticket at the front desk in the poker room, any of the comp desks or you can check your balance and print tickets at the self-comping machines outside the casino in the entrance lobby.
