Jackson has done a great job in their new poker room. Their old room was small, cramped, noisy, and not high on the 'visit' list. They have made some solid changes for the better, which warrant a visit, if you don't mind an erratic games, at times. I typically enjoy my sessions out there, but you really have to have a high tolerance to younger players, (18 years or older allowed to play poker) and most every "kid" in the room is an expert, along with Dealers being hit or miss at times. But, all in all, it's a decent room. They also offer some attractive tourneys which are seeded or guaranteed prize money. Their staple game is a $1/2 NL game, along with $3/6 for the limit players. They will also spread $6/12 Limit and $3/5 NL if there is interest. What typically happens is that there ends up being so much money on the $2/5 NL game, it converts to a $3/5 game, which per the poker room host, happens about once a month. Each time I've played there, the wait is anywhere from none, to 15 or 20 minutes. One odd rule that they have there is that they do not allow iPods on the table or allow players to listen to music at the table. This is sure to get under the skin of the younger crowd, and to those who listen to music while killing the time. The low limit NL games can be very wild. You can not protect your hand preflop, and will have multiple chasers calling you down with marginal hands that 'get there' often. This is the erratic aspect of the game. If you are patient, the lower limit games can be profitable, but can also be very frustrating. When the $2/5 NL game spreads (often, most every weekend) it's well worth sitting in. Even better, the $3/5 NL game, which raises the buy in to the game from a min. of $500 to a max of $5,000. The $3/5 game plays about like a $5/10 NL game, and can be very knitty at times. The management is helpful, courteous and polite. Overall, I generally enjoy the game and the room, but don't quite think it's the best in the area.

The room is very spacious, new, clean, comfortable, and user friendly. Restrooms are just outside the poker area. All the tables have shufflers in them. There are flat panel TV's around the room and it is smoke free, although the casino allows smoking in the general casino area. The only annoyances of the room would be some of the players. Rude, talking / calling out board cards, jabbering about hand odds, and percentages, when in most cases, what they are saying isn't accurate to begin with.

Dealers can be hit or miss. One Dealer will push and you may get one that is fast, on the ball, keeps the game running, polite, and most of all, accurate, or you may get a Dealer that is sloppy, inaccurate and not very friendly. It's better than it was a couple of years ago, but is still in need of some tuning.

Jackson has a Food Court with a decent selection of food and options. Not 5 Star fare, but solid food to fill the hunger void. I've never ordered food in the poker room. You can order drinks from waitresses who work the room. No alcohol in the casino, so options for drinks are pop, coffee, smoothies, etc.

The wait list is electronic, and displayed on a large flat screen over the desk. Easy to get listed for a game and know where you are in a wait list, or waiting to move to a different table. I do not know if you can call ahead. I seem to remember that I have a time or two, but don't know if they readily accept call in's for the wait list. Management was helpful in all cases, polite and friendly. Wait times for the 1/2 NL and 2/5NL games can run anywhere from 5 minutes to 30.

They do not offer any comps that I know of, however they do offer BBJP's and HHJP's. BBJP's is AAATT or better beaten. All 4 cards must play. (both cards from both players) HHJP's are Quads, Straight Flush, Royal Flush, etc. and pay $50 and up.
