Wisconsin's Potawatomi Casino Hotel has announced the return of poker to Milwaukee with news that its latest renovation will feature a two-story sportsbook and a brand-new poker room that will open on Friday, May 3.
The return of poker to the Cream City is the final stage of a $190 million renovation at the casino, which opened in 1991.
The 14-table room will be situated where the Northern Lights Theater was located and it will feature $1/$3 and $2/$5 No-Limit as well as Pot-Limit Omaha. Also returning are popular promotions like the Hourly High Hand Jackpots and the Bad Beat Jackpot.
It shares space with Potowatamis new sportsbook, two stories of seating for 200 people in 6,500 square feet of space that includes a 2,000 sq. ft. LED screen and over 20 TVs.
We are excited to bring the next level of entertaining sports betting to our guests, Dominic Ortiz, CEO of Potawatomi Casino Hotel said in a statement. We appreciate the patience our guests have given us while we build out these two extraordinary projects. I can assure them, it will be well worth the wait.
The latest renovation is the third major poker room improvement in the casino's rich history. The original 10-table room opened in the spring of 2004 on the other end of the bingo hall, and it enjoyed a popular run in the wake of the Moneymaker Boom.
When Potawatomi completed its $240 million expansion in 2008, the poker room moved into a larger space and played host to events on the Mid-Stakes Poker Tour and the WSOP Circuit. The 20-table room closed in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak and it did not reopen when restrictions were lifted.
The new sportsbook and poker room will round out a sprawling property that now offers two hotel towers, restaurants, entertainment, and plenty of meeting space for any traveling poker tour. Potawatomi Casino Hotel will no doubt find itself back on the poker calendar very soon.
