The casino is going to offer poker players larger, updated spaces for their favorite pastime

It is clear already for poker players that the usual scene inside live poker rooms in Las Vegas are going to change dramatically. At least three casinos are operating their poker rooms since June 4, when they were allowed to reopen for business. But South Point Hotel Casino and Spa decided to take this time to debut a new and renovated poker room for its customers. This newly renovated place to enjoy poker action will bring all the games poker players love, including the popular form of Texas Hold’em, as well as other luxurious amenities. The sizeable South Point poker room is non-smoking and open 24 hours, and it will follow recommended social distancing requirements.

The renovations included the addition of eight additional poker tables, which brings the room to a total of thirty, which still features the most room in between tables in any gambling venue in Las Vegas. The room is also filled with 55-inch 4K televisions and two brand new 90-inch televisions. In addition, South Point added new, comfortable seating with several options to chill and relax. For the comfort of visitors, each seat in the room comes with a phone charging station. A newly designed podium will be in charge of paying the winners and provide an enhanced customer experience.

“We know our players will enjoy the most comfortable poker playing experience in Las Vegas,” said Ryan Growney, general manager of South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. “And welcoming our loyal guests back in a safe way is of the utmost importance to us and our staff.” For now, the poker room will feature $3-6, $4-8, $6-12 limit Texas Hold’em and $1-2, $2-3, $3-5 blind No-Limit Texas Hold’em. It will also offer mixed games tables for Stud and Omaha but at the player’s request.

The Venom is back with $7,000,000 GTD starting July 24th.

America's biggest poker site. Since 2001, ACR has broken industry records, including the Guinness World Record for the largest cryptocurrency jackpot in an online poker tournament.

A year and a half ago, the South Point casino was the talk of the poker world when it was granted the first online poker license in the United States. It was exciting; South Point was developing its own software and planned to be the first to market. Now, quietly, South Point Poker is finally live, the third online poker room to launch in the state of Nevada.

There has been no fanfare – it is a “soft launch,” meaning that it is essentially a live, public test run with the anticipation that the site go full speed ahead should no problems crop up. Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman A.G. Burnett told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “This is a regular field trial of their I-gaming poker platform and will be monitored closely. Assuming a successful launch and field trial, South Point is now the third poker offering for Nevada players.”

South Point Poker’s software platform is custom-developed, as opposed to most offerings in the United States so far (Ultimate Poker excluded) which use pre-existing software from online gaming companies. Also departing from the norm, South Point’s client platform is web-based, not a downloadable software package, allowing for play on all sorts of devices, like PCs, tablets, and phones. It appears that during the soft launch, Hold’em is the only game offered, at stakes ranging from $0.01/$0.02 on up to $5/$10. Sit-and-Go’s are also on the menu, but just six-max and heads-up right now. Multi-table tournaments look to be offered later.

As with the other Nevada Poker rooms, Ultimate Poker and WSOP.com, South Point Poker’s offering is restricted to players within state borders. The way South Point verifies location is interesting, though. Players must download an app to their Android phone or iPhone and then login to South Point’s poker room, RealGaming.com. Once a game is selected, players must click the “SMS” button on the screen to be sent a text message. The text message on the phone will contain a link which will load the downloaded location app. This app will then provide a token which can be entered on the game screen.

It seems like a lot of steps just to play poker, but it will likely become pretty simple for most players. Of course, the problem is that people must always have their smartphone with them to play. This process must be done every time a player logs in.

As already mentioned, South Point was the first in the Nevada to receive a license (August 2012) and expected to be the first to market. It ran into much longer than expected delays in the independent testing process, something every licensee must go through to be able to launch their online poker room. South Point’s custom software likely had much to do with these delays. In October 2012, South Point’s Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Vaughan told VegasInc.com, “We feel we could launch today. But you’ve got to go through the independent testing labs, you have to satisfy the State Gaming Control Board and because we are the first, we’re going to be under the microscope. They’re going to prod us every which way, and that’s good. We don’t want to come out and fall flat on our face and be an embarrassment for Nevada.”

Instead, South Point fell flat on its face by taking over a year to finally launch.
