Resorts East Chicago on the other hand, maintains a much more professional atmosphere. Located less than five minutes away from the Majestic Star, it is a favorite among locals. One floorperson told me, "We have the friendliest staff – we get to know each player by name and game." A number of players with whom I spoke to agreed with this sentiment – there are a lot of regulars who frequent the room and the camaraderie amongst them seems to be very strong.
While Resorts is similar in size to Majestic star with 16 tables, it spreads a different array of games. Along with $1-5 stud, they spread $5/10, $10/20, and $20/40 limit Hold em games along with a $5/10 blind, $500 no limit restricted game with an $8 charge for time every half-hour. It also hosts a $10/25, $1000 minimum no limit game with no restriction and the same $8/half hour time charge, making it one of the biggest games in the Chicagoland area. It also has tournaments, on Tuesdays at 7pm for $150+$15 and Thursdays at 1pm for $200+$20.
Since the Resorts spreads higher stakes games, it tends to attract a more wealthy clientele, although there are still plenty of beginners and experienced players alike throughout the room. In my experience, the staff has always been very courteous and there usually seems to be a healthy flow of friendly banter between the players, giving off the feeling that you are playing in a home game. |
