Overall Impressions
3/5
I prefer a more intimate atmosphere, and this room is right in the middle of the casino floor, but, a good game of poker is not easy to find, and I have enjoyed my games here. There were some "beginners", as they are not intimidated because of the 'walk-up" location, but the room seems to attract a good local crowd, and they contribute to a good game. Some of my buddies would not like the noise and the "amateurs", but it is a good change of pace from the 'classy" rooms. I like variety.Atmosphere
3/5
Again, this is not the classiest locale for a poker room. The chairs are not the plushest, but are OK, and the tables are are in good condition with automatic shufflers. There is a lounge, with live music, within earshot, also the bar is close, and there is the noise from the other games in the casino, so there are some distractions. Best thing for me is the no-smoking rule at the tables.Dealers
4/5
All I ever ask of a dealer is to act professional, be efficient and polite, and keep the games moving and under control, and that is exactly what I have experienced at Bally's.Food and Drink
4/5
The wait staff were always around and, as the bar is steps away, drinks were served fast. I am not a drinker, myself, but my table mates seemed to be very happy.Wait Time/Overall Service
4/5
The management was very polite and made you feel that they welcomed you. Their electronic list is well managed, and the wait for tables was not long. The room seemed to function very smoothly.Comps
0/5
1 dollar an hour, which seems to be the going comp rate in town. Not going to be a factor, but better than nothing.Overall Impressions
2/5
Too noisy for me. Very close to the bar & the main casino & I could not concentrate. Came back on another occasion and it was worse. It may be OK for others, but I would not put this room on my recommend list!Atmosphere
3/5
Not really a separate room. This is why the noise. The tables and chairs were OK, and there was enough room between tables.Dealers
4/5
Dealers were professional, kept games going without any blips, and were very friendly and helpful.

Very well organized, helped by a computerized list. No waiting problems. Chips were brought around quickly. Wish the room was better situated, so I could enjoy it better, as these guys are really trying to make this a better experience for the players.Comps

I played the tourney, a $55 game I think. The structure went too fast for my liking. The competition was soft. They were not the worst organized room, but not the best.
I asked about sit and gos, which they advertised. They said, "Yes they run every once in a while. I think we ran one about two weeks ago." lolComps
