Poker Room Part of Casino of the Wind Expansion

The new Casino of the Wind will open on August 29th, which will also be the opening of a grand opening party that will last all October long. This is the result of Project Horizon, a major expansion from the Mohegan Sun, and poker players are going to benefit thanks to a 42 table poker room that is part of the expansion. In the poker room, during the October celebrations, a poker tournament will be held with what is being advertised as one of the biggest prize pools offered on the East Coast of the US.

Poker terminology:

  • ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
  • BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
  • POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
  • SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
  • CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
  • CASE - The fourth card of a particular rank, as in "he folded the case 9" when describing where all the 9s were in a hand. Comes from the game of Faro where an employee of the house, called the "case keeper". kept track of the number of each rank of card remaining.
