Any casinos in Dallas, Tx area for table Poker players

Someone asked me about Dallas casinos and I haven't a clue. Are there any and which might be better for table poker player? He plays slots a little, but was interested in poker. I guess his bankroll will be $600 to $1,000 area.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Are you talking "legal gambling" in Texas?? No such animal. Or are you talking A-Rod poker?

Legal, he was looking for a Harrahs or Indian casino.

The only forbidden fruit we are allowed in Texas are lottery tix and racetracks.

Closest casino to Dallas is Winstar casino - about an hour or so away in Oklahoma. It is a huge Indian casino. Winstar Poker
Winstar also has fullpay progressive vp at the Rome and London bars, and there is a nice hotel.

The next closest would be about 2 hours or so from Dallas to several casinos in the Shreveport/Bossier, LA area. Horseshoe is the Harrah's property.

Thanks agnes, I'll pass along the info.

The first World Series of Poker circuit events of the year start in Shreveport Sept. 8 to Sept. 19 at the Horseshoe. The Eldorado also has poker.

Technically, Texas does have a casino. The Kickapoo Lucky Eagle in Eagle Pass. Class II gaming license. (Las Vegas is Class III.) Bingo-style slots and poker. Period. Really, all you need to know is, it's about 7 hours from Dallas and pull tabs are probably more fun. But, just to be a stickler, one casino does exist in Texas.

Not only is there the Winstar due north of Dallas on I35, Choctaw casino in Durant Okla (probably 75 minutes northeast on US 75 from downtown Dallas) is very very nice with a good poker room. In my opinion, the newly built casino and hotel reminds me of a nice, but much smaller, Stations property in Vegas. Whereas Winstar is very large, it reminds me more of a rambling, upscale warehouse. I like Choctaw a lot more.....even has some full pay Jacks and NSUDeuces.
