Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Reviews
Overall Impressions
5/5
I come here every chance I get since it opened last year. This is one great poker room. I'm into sports betting when I come to Atlantic City and the room has tons of flat screen TV's to watch the games while you're playing. I play mostly $5/10 no limit, but have played both lower in the 2/5 game and twice was feeling good and tried my hand in a 10/25 game. I did okay, but played short-stacked and didn't do anything stupid.

5/5
The room is new and everything in it feels great. Great tables, lots of flat screen TV's, great servers in hot black dresses. The room has lots of space and the atmosphere is great.Dealers
4/5
The dealers are friendly and professional. In the old room they didn't always hire the best dealers, but they have really made a point to hire only smart, patient and knowledgable dealers here.Food and Drink
3/5
There are plenty of Borgata Babes and they are very beautiful and friendly. They serve premium liquor and anything else you could want. On a sour note they don't allow food at the tables which I'm not a big fan of.Wait Time/Overall Service
5/5
There are lots of tables and games spread and the wait time is not usually long at all. It usually doesn't take too long to get a game. The managers are very friendly and the staff is good with faces and makes you feel welcome and at home.Comps
5/5
The poker rate is $100-125 and its easy to get, but I have heard of getting shut out on room at this rate. I've not had any problems. I use their comp card and its pretty easy to earn points. Nothing major but it's pretty nice and there are few hassles.Overall Impressions
5/5
This is by far the most premiere place to play poker in Atlantic City. They offer a wide range of games up to the highest limits. The NLHE tournaments attracts many players which generates huge prize pools. For example, the $250 buy-in Friday 50K Garauntee gets about 350 players on average. When you add the Summer Borgata Open while being the host to 2 WPT events, the tournament action is non-stop. Whatever game you play, I believe you'll find the action your looking for. Atmosphere
4/5
The poker room has approximately 120 tables, very spacious, and has office style chairs. My only probelm is with the magnetic chips. For a poker player this can be annoying, because it is difficult for chip shuffling and other chip tricks. Dealers

4/5
The Borgata babes are something else as seeing them live, you'll know what I'm talking about! They do not let food at the tables, but there is a full service cafeteria right below the poker room that offers Fat Burger, Philly cheese steaks, pizza, sushi, Chinese, Ben and Jerry's, and gourmet salads.

Overall Impressions
5/5
The games are always great, with plenty of 3betting & postflop bluffing and semibluffing. The room also attracts more a more wealthy, younger crowd. Not too many nut-peddling nits here.Atmosphere
5/5
The only real negative as far as I'm concerned are the chips. They're very difficult to shuffle, and they stick together, making it more difficult to cut out a bet. This is terrible when you have a big hand and have a propensity to display the "shaky hand" tell. Dealers
4/5
Haven't had any problems, usually quiet and professional.Food and Drink

Unfortunately no food allowed in the room, although this goes with the class of the entire room. Drink service is good.Wait Time/Overall Service

Nothing special, but not many casinos reward poker players well.
