Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, Dec. 21 announced the opening of its new poker room. The room’s debut coincides with the Dec. 21 start of the Beau Rivage Heater Poker Tour.

“Poker now has a permanent home that is closer to the casino entrance and the base of the conventional level escalators, where our major poker tournaments take place,” said Beau Rivage Poker Room Manager Adam Nash in a statement.

Located adjacent to the resort’s convention level escalators, the 12-table poker features a four-window cashier’s cage, forms display, and a dozen 65-inch-and-larger HDTVs.

“Our poker players have called our temporary poker room home for a number of years,” Nash said. “Our new state-of-the art poker room is part of a larger-scale multi-million dollar project and was definitely worth the wait.”

The smokefree room, designed by Dietz & Co. Architect, features wood accents and wall millwork, plus light patterns used for wall coverings that will carry over to the casino floor.

The poker room is open to guests daily from 10 a.m. to 4 a.m., with daily tournaments and promotions.
