HOW TO PLAY POKER
We keep the lines short and the action non-stop in our Poker room with over 30 tables. We have a variety of the most popular poker games with a wide range of limits and you can enjoy your meal while you play.
TEXAS HOLD 'EM
Hold ‘Em is a community card game. Each player receives two cards. There are designated blinds in Hold ‘Em (usually two: a small and a big in the first and second positions to the left of the dealer button). After the initial round of betting, three cards are turned up on the table, commonly referred to as a “flop.” There is a betting round after the flop, then two more cards are turned up, one at a time, with a round of betting after each card. Players match their two hole cards with the five community cards on the board. The best 5-card hand wins the pot.
PINEAPPLE HOLD ‘EM/CRAZY PINEAPPLE HOLD ‘EM
A variation of Texas Hold ‘Em, each player is dealt three down cards instead of two. After the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards before the flop. All other rules of Hold ‘Em apply. Pineapple Hold ‘Em can be played either high or high-low split. A qualifier of eight-or-better is usually needed to win the low hand in the split game. In Crazy Pineapple Hold ‘Em, after the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards after the flop. All other rules of Pineapple Hold ‘Em apply.

7-CARD STUD
Seven-card stud is played with two down cards and one up card, a betting round, followed by three more up cards (with betting round after each), then a final down card and a final round of betting. The best 5-card hand wins the pot. The initial action is made by the player with the lowest ranking up card. On subsequent betting rounds, action is started by the highest ranking card. In a fixed limit game, if there is an open pair on the fourth card, players have the option of making a bet or raising the higher limit.
OMAHA
Omaha is similar to Hold ‘Em, except each player is dealt four down cards instead of two. The betting is same as Hold ‘Em. However, to make a hand, a player must use precisely two hole cards with any combination of exactly three board cards.
Mohegan Sun Poker Open
OMAHA HI-LO SPLIT EIGHT-OR-BETTER
A variation of Omaha, players may use any combination of two hole cards and three board cards for their high hand and another (or the same) combination of two hole cards and three board cards for the low hand. A qualifier of Eight-or-better is required for the low hand. If no player can make a low hand, the high hand wins the entire pot.
POT LIMIT HOLD ‘EM
In Pot Limit Hold ‘Em, a player can open for any amount up to four times the size of the big blind. Any player may bet and raise the amount of money in the pot. In raising the pot, a player must consider the total amount of called bets including their own call as part of the pot. All raises must be equal to or greater than the size of the previous bet or raise.
NO LIMIT HOLD ‘EM
In a No Limit Hold ‘Em game, there are designated blinds and/or antes plus a designated opening bet. Beyond this structure, any player may bet any amount of money they have on the table.
7-CARD HI-LO SPLIT - EIGHT OR BETTER
A variation of 7-card stud, the best high hand splits the pot with the best low hand. However, in order to win the low half, the player must have an 8-low or better. If there is no low qualifier, the high hand wins the entire pot.
7-CARD LO (RAZZ)
Razz is a low ball game. The lowest hand wins the pot. Aces are low and straights and flushes have no effect on the value of the hand. In Razz, the high card has the forced opening and the low hand is first to act thereafter.

Thursday, the Mohegan Sun announced a $740 million dollar expansion to its casino complex in Uncasville, CT. While there are many new features planned for the expansion, including a House of Blues music hall, the one that caught our eye was the 45 table poker room.
The Mohegan Sun closed its original poker room in 2003 to make way for more slot machines. Its closest competitor, Foxwoods Casino, was the beneficiary of poker's meteoric rise and the absence of poker at the Mohegan Sun. 'Project Horizon' is specifically targeting a younger demographic; a demographic the Mohegan Sun plans to attract with poker.
The expansion will also add much needed hotel space to better accommodate the demand generated by its convention facility. It will also greatly expand table games and restaurants geared at attracting more Asian players.
The Mohegan Sun draws primarily draws its players from New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. In the recent election, Rhode Island voters rejected a measure that would have allowed Harrah's Entertainment to build a casino in Providence, Rhode Island, eliminating a new potential competitor for the Mohegan Sun.
The new poker room will be part of the new Casino of the Wind, which is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2008.
