Only the BEST Poker Tourney’s in Reno, NV
We did our research for you and also spent a lot of money (and also had some fun) testing out the fine casinos in Reno, Nevada. Surprisingly, this is what we found:
Atlantis Casino Resort Spa Reno
The poker action literally never stops at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa Reno, thanks to its 24-hour non-smoking poker room – which is great because it prides itself in providing a truly comfortable playing experience, so you’ll probably end up staying longer than planned. Tableside dining is also available, in addition to a beverage bar and state-of-the-art TVs all around the poker room so you won’t ever go hungry, run out of drinks or end up short on entertainment options.
As for tournaments, Atlantis’ poker room hosts a $40 No-limit Texas Holdem event every day at 11 am (registration starts at 9 am). Each player starts with 6,000 tournament chips – unless they’ve accumulated at least an hour of tracked play 24 hours before the event, which earns them an extra 2,000 tournament chips. Late entries, re-buys and alternates are allowed until level 3.
The poker room will also be hosting the WPT Deepstacks event in March 2017, which you could win a seat in when you hit any of the following hands at the daily tournaments:
- Royal Flush
- Straight Flush
- Four of a Kind
Now, if you’re planning on also getting a hotel room during your visit, you’d be happy to know that you can enjoy special rates when you play at least five hours of live poker and a completely free complimentary stay when you play at least 10 hours of poker. This offer is valid from Sundays through Thursdays.

What sets us apart from other poker websites is that we work more like an Escrow account than a traditional house. This means that instead of charging you split pots or percentages, we let you keep all of your winnings – yes, up to the very last cent!
And we take security seriously as well so you don’t have to worry about getting cheated while you play. We do this in three ways:
- We set up our proprietary SafeSight™ Firewall to prevent other people (including anyone from our team) from seeing your cards.
- We never allow anyone from our team to participate in any of the games.
- We use a card-dealing algorithm that perfectly mimics a human dealer to ensure that you get truly random cards every single time.
