My Pro Player Tip: Look for the “NEW” and “FEATURED” signs on the gaming floor when you visit. Casino Rama regularly rotates the latest slots from top providers, and these newer games usually have better graphics and bonus features.

The slot selection changes periodically, so you might discover something different on each visit.

Slot Locations: The gaming floor is well-organized, with with plenty of space. The machines are grouped by denomination and theme. High-limit slots ($1+ per spin) are in a separate, quieter area if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere away from the main floor noise.

My Table Game Tips:
• Weekday mornings (10 AM – 2 PM) have the lowest minimums, sometimes as low as $5.
• Friday and Saturday nights see $25-$50 minimums due to crowds.
• Ask about game rules before sitting down. Dealers are friendly and will explain variations.
• Join My Club (Casino Rama’s player card) before playing – you’ll earn comps on your table play.

Electronic Table Games (ETG) – Stadium Gaming

If you want the table game experience without the pressure of a live dealer, Casino Rama’s Electronic Table Games are perfect. These are digital terminals where you place bets on live automated games displayed on screens.

Available ETG Games:
• Blackjack (Auto Mode) – $3 to $300 per hand
• Baccarat (Auto Mode) – $3 to $300 per hand
• Double-Zero Roulette (Auto Mode) – $3 to $100 per bet

Why Play Electronic Table Games:

✅ Lower minimums – Start at just $3 vs $10-$25 on live tables
✅ No pressure – Play at your own pace, no dealer waiting
✅ Perfect for learning – Practice table games without intimidation
✅ Better for small bankrolls – Stretch your money longer
✅ Available 24/7 – These don’t close when live tables shut down

How ETG Works: You sit at a personal terminal (like a slot machine) with a touchscreen. The game results come from automated dealers or wheels displayed on large screens that everyone can see. You input your bets digitally, and payouts are credited to your machine instantly.

Poker Room – 6 Dedicated Tables

Cash Games:
No-Limit Texas Hold ’em is the primary game spread

• Blinds typically: $1/$2, $2/$5, and occasionally $5/$10

The Poker Tournaments:
• Casino Rama hosts regular poker tournaments (check their website or call for schedule)

Poker Room Atmosphere: The poker room is separate from the main casino floor, giving it a quieter, more focused vibe. Players are serious but friendly. If you’re new to live poker, the $1/$2 game is beginner-friendly.

What I have found works best: Sign up for the poker interest list at the podium when you arrive. During busy periods (Friday/Saturday nights), there is often a wait for seats.

🃏 Take a free lesson – Ask at Player Services about learn-to-play classes for table games
💵 Set a budget before you start and stick to it
🎟️ Get a My Club card immediately – you’re leaving money on the table without one
