For those interested in Harrah's Cherokee

Pots and Lock Machines have NOT been changed out yet, sometime "early next year".

Might be a few glass panels that still say Raffle Reels but you should be able to play without interesting a TR card, most of those machines have had the panels changed to a dark Cherokee logo.

Thanks Blade. That's kinda like a Christmas present.

So according to a tweet from Harrah's Cherokee, they finally have live poker as of March 29. But I did some web crawling and found a few sites that mention this:

"The live games here will only consist of 2-5 No Limit Poker and 5-10 Limit Poker. All other games, such as 1-2 No Limit, 3-6 Limit, PLO, and 7-Card Stud, will still be on the PokerPro machines."

Not sure how well that's going to go over with the casual, 1-2 player (like my husband) who refused to go back until they installed live dealers. I think a lot of players hoping for live dealers weren't assuming they would only be for higher limit games. Kinda disappointing after such a long wait.

Sorry you're disappointed Melissa. I'm not a poker player but a 3 card poker player. On my last visit, I was dealt 3 card flush - AKQ of hearts, had played the bonus, dealer had the 10 and 8 of hearts (where was the 9!!!). but it was good. walked away with $1300+ change. but i had lost all weekend at slots...so wasn't close to even for the trip but better than I was before I sat down at the table. So in my case the live dealer made a difference...
