The room will be near the Bally’s Big Bet Poker livestream broadcast studio at the Tropicana. The new room is expected to open in June with details of the opening date and times expected to be announced soon. Jeremy Weinstein, chief marketing officer for Maverick, said the company intends to capture players with twice-daily tournaments and the lowest rake - the commission paid to the casino on games - on the Strip. Maverick currently owns four commercial casinos in Nevada, three in Colorado and 23 card rooms in Washington. Privately held Maverick Gaming LLC, based in Kirkland, Washington, has signed a deal with Bally’s Corp., operators of the Tropicana, to open the Maverick Gaming Poker Room at the 66-year-old Strip resort.
Now, it’s turning the tables to host a poker room. The Tropicana has been all over the news as a possible site for a baseball stadium.
