Chinook Winds doesn't offer one of the biggest, or the best poker rooms in the world. It is one of the friendlier rooms however.

This casino's on the ocean. Prime Real Estate. If you busted through a poker room wall, you'd have the most fabulous view Oregon has to offer. Casino's aren't known for having windows, but c'mon, it's the OCEAN.

The dealers here are great. They're friendly, they're helpful and they're genuine. Love this place for its dealers if for nothing else.

Crap.

Crap. Hardly ever a game going to be honest. Wait times are unheard of. Half the time there's players and the manager just plain won't start a game. I actually had her tell me once she didn't want to open a short handed game. Three dealers being paid, plus a manger and 'she doesn't want to..'.

Really not much as far as comps go. Water bottles and all non-alcoholic beverages are free. There's also a discount for poker players at the cafe, just ask for service.
