Poker at the Peppermill

Peppermill Perfection Features Poker

RENO, NV - “A premier luxury resort in an American Paradise” is how one writer describes the Peppermill Hotel/Casino.

Overlooking Reno, with the majestic, snow-capped High Sierra for its backdrop, the Peppermill offers visitors a cornucopia of excitement and delights.

Surrounded by 40 championship golf courses, within minutes of 18 world-class ski resorts, and a breathtakingly beautiful brief drive to Virginia City and back to the Old West, the Peppermill sits at the center of an outdoor wonderland.

Lake Tahoe, “the most beautiful jewel in the world”, according to Mark Twain, is just 45-minutes away. “It’s like driving up to Heaven”, one writer wrote.

Visitors to the Peppermill are pampered. It features 1,100 exquisite rooms, eight distinctive, honor-winning restaurants, and 14 bars and lounges. In addition, there’s a heated pool, saloon and health club, complete with sauna.

The most award-winning Reno resort, the Peppermill was voted “Reno’s Best” and selected as one of the “Top ten casinos in America”.

One satisfied hotel guest exclaimed, “What we have here is perfect perfection!” For those seeking adventure in paradise, a large, exquisite casino provides every variety of thrills, including all the latest, most popular slots, table games and keno. For the athletically inclined bettor, there is a handsome, full-service race & sports book.

New Poker Room

The poker room has been completely redesigned and remodeled to be a paramount feature of the casino. “Our aim is to offer one of the finest poker facilities in the country,” declares Director of Games Joe Ayarbe.

As a result, the Peppermill features a state-of-the-art poker room for the 21st Century. Here, players are the beneficiaries of high tech, high class service and comfort.

Every possible aspect of the operation has been computerized and digitalized; from the time a player arrives (or phones in) to the time they leave, everything has been scrutinized for player convenience. Hotel guests can call the poker room to get on the waiting list, then tune into a TV channel in their room to watch their progress on the list.

Dozens of 42″ plasma screen TV monitors around the room keep players informed of game selections, waiting lists, table changes, tournament standings, jackpots, upcoming promotions and events. Every player has a close, clear view of important sports competitions. The tables are large and most are equipped with automatic shufflers, providing security as well as assuring a maximum number of hands are dealt. Elegant chandelier lights hang over the table illuminating the playing surface, not the players.

“Electronic communication between staff maximizes efficiency and minimizes noise,” Ayarbe claims, so that “even when packed with players, it runs more smoothly than poker rooms half its size.” Special recognition must be made of the chairs. Players will appreciate the high quality, comfortable, quiet, adjustable chairs. No buts about it, they’re the best.

If action’s the attraction, the Peppermill poker room has you covered. With 12 tables, you can find everything from $2/4 to if-you’rewrong- your-gone No-Limit. There’s a full compliment of weekly and seasonal tournaments.

In addition, the badbeat jackpot as of this story stands at $175,000! The backup jackpot is over $100,000! Ira Cohen, Poker Manager and Master of Ceremonies for the Peppermill’s Palace of Poker said, “We’re putting together a full program of promotions aimed at frequent rewards and cash prizes for our players, including a variety of tournaments.”

With luxury, comfort, convenience, and action, the Peppermill expects to be THE poker place in paradise, Cohn concludes, “It’s a choice between the best and the rest.”
