The poker room at Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas has struggled. It often hosted just one game when it was not dark. Special hotel events might help the poker room spread a second table. The poker room held a special event earlier this year that expanded the poker room to 12 table but those crowds are the exception and not the rule. Most games at the room are 1/3 No Limit Texas Hold’em.

The jackpot giveaway has not drastically increased poker room traffic. There are two 1/3 No Limit Texas Hold’em games running on Friday afternoon with five players on the wait list, according to Bravo Poker Live.
