Under the terms of the agreement, the poker room will be named the Bally\u2019s Maverick Poker Room. Financial terms of the accord weren\u2019t disclosed. Washington-based Maverick is led by CEO Eric Persson who is an accomplished poker player.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to elevate the gaming experience of our poker room by tapping into the knowledge and experience of Maverick Gaming to attract world-renowned poker players and position the Bally\u2019s Maverick Poker Room as the premier poker destination in the region,\u201d Tony Rohrer, regional vice president and general manager of Bally\u2019s Twin River, said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maverick owns several casinos in Colorado and Nevada as well as nearly two dozen card rooms<\/a> in its home state. The poker room at Bally\u2019s Twin River will have daily tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $50 to $450 and cash games as well.<\/p>\n

Bally\u2019s, Maverick Gaming Have History<\/h2>\n

Bally\u2019s and Maverick Gaming share history. In 2020, Maverick attempted to acquire<\/a> the Eldorado casino hotel in Shreveport, La. ahead of that operator\u2019s merger with Caesars Entertainment, but that venue was ultimately sold to Bally\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n

In May 2023, Bally\u2019s and Maverick announced plans for the Maverick Gaming Poker Room at the Tropicana on the Las Vegas Strip, but that effort didn\u2019t gain momentum because the integrated resort was shuttered earlier<\/a> this year to potentially make way for a Major League Baseball stadium — an increasingly unlikely prospect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Additionally, Persson frequently appears on \u201cBally\u2019s Big Bet Poker,\u201d which features high stakes poker games.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur long-term plan is to eventually, with proper regulatory approval, hold tournaments seven days a week, with varying buy-ins to accommodate all types of recreational and professional players,\u201d said Persson in the press release. \u201cAdditionally, Bally\u2019s Twin River is an ideal setting for our twice-annual circuit event that likely will attract more than 3,000 players.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bally\u2019s Bolstering Rhode Island Casino<\/h2>\n

The poker room partnership with Maverick Gaming is one example of Bally\u2019s ongoing efforts to bolster its Twin River property. The company has spent $60 million<\/a> sprucing up the venue, including the addition of non-smoking gaming space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recently introduced an Asian food hall, Korean-style spa, gaming addition, and new no-smoking areas. These enhancements underscore our ongoing efforts to innovate and exceed expectations, providing guests with unparalleled comfort and enjoyment,\u201d added Rohrer.<\/p>\n

The expenditures at Bally\u2019s Twin River were part of $100 million in spending pledged by the operator to improve its Rhode Island venues. The other is located in Tiverton.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
