I'm local to the ft Myers area; however, I've played poker throughout the U.S. as well as a few places around the world during my 28 years of being away via military.

Just the same, if the "Cowboy" is sitting mid-table at DJ Wild Card, find another table as well. Do your research on the electronic "shoe" card shuffler, and you'll be a much better informed poker player, and will save a ton of money! Thankfully you won't suffocate in cigarette smoke here, and the facility is relatively clean. Dealers and servers are friendly to some extent, but definitely cheer on and snuggle-up to the regulars, while the newbies and occasional ones pretty much just occupy...
Read moreMy fiancé attended for the first time tonight at 9:15 pm and left a winner at midnight. Facility is beautiful, bar and restaurant menu looks appealing, bathrooms are very clean, 30+ poker tables in the Poker Room, everyone is following protocol and masked.
Won the last high hand with four 8's - $700 and then the pot win was $300 but half was his. He signed documentation and the cash was fanned in front of the chips. Tipped the dealer $25 and bought an opponent a promised drink.
Parking Lot well lit and felt safe parking as well as leaving.
On screens are simulcast racing but there was nothing...
