FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan, has opened a newly designed 21-table poker room next to Dacey’s Sportsbook & Taphouse.

The room includes a self-service beverage station, upgraded cashier experience for faster and a specially designated final table area that will be used for major tournaments and can be reserved for private games.

FireKeepers, which hosts on the largest Mid-States Poker Tour events outside of Las Vegas, adorned the room with MSPT-branded wallpaper.

“Our new poker room is more than just a new location — it’s a true hub for everything poker,” John Fell, Director of Table Games at FireKeepers Casino Hotel, said in a news release. “Whether you’re here for daily games, major tournaments, or just to enjoy the atmosphere, this space delivers the energy and amenities that players expect from a top-tier poker destination.”

The wall facing the former poker room will be removed, opening the area for additional slot machines.
