I haven't and I put it down to 'The Walk of Shame' being so shameful that poker room managers don't want any in their rooms. Let them walk into the casino proper to hit up the ATM even though everybody knows where they're going.

OTOH, maybe there is a poker room w/ an ATM inside of it. Anybody know of any?

Oceans eleven has two, but I guess it may not really count since that is the primary gaming option there
At Barona in San Diego it is a step out the door and visible.

Seriously? Never? Every poker room I've been in thus far has at least one.

Well color me surprised. I've played a bunch of rooms and don't recall ever seeing one.

Sycuan. Also the palomar but the only other place to put one in there is in the restroom.

HB- I didn't think you sat at a table unless there were at least two or three of them already present, preferably on your right.

Maybe because you've never needed one?

Due to gaming laws in Australia (New South Wales, at least), if you need to hit the ATM for a reload at Star City, you're looking at close to a 10 minute round-trip all the way downstairs off the gaming floor. Pain in the hole really, but once or twice it has saved me money - taking a tough beat, or when I've been playing a sub-par game, the walk to the ATM gives me time to clear my head and realise it's probably better to just keep walking to the carpark and head home.

Apart from there though, at least half of the poker rooms I've played in have had ATM's within a 30 second walk from the tables.

Borgata has one in the poker room too, although most people don't seem to realize it and use the one outside the poker room by the slots and surface entrance.

Last time I walked by a mirror in a poker room I think I may have glimpsed one...

All the ones in London have one. In Vegas you only have to walk for 30 seconds to one on the casino floor. It isn't really a walk of shame for most low stakes players. They came to the casino to ahve fun, gamble and most likely lose. They are losing; this is standard.

They have ATMs literally an arms distance away from poker tables in some LA casinos

Yep...there are two ATM's in the poker room I play in. I NEVER make the walk of shame though. I bring my buy in amounts that I'm going to play that day and in the rare event that I lose my buy-ins for the day, I gracefully exit and put an end to that day. That's it.

I *think* the one at Harrah's San Diego was in the room, although away from the tables.

There is at least one in the Casino Arizona card room and also in the Canterbury park (Minnesota) card room.

Either Howard has been unattentive, or Combo is overly imaginative.

I don't think there's one inside CAZ's poker room. I was going to double check before replying, though.

btw: I haven't had an ATM card in 10 years just to prevent me from getting money in casinos. When I take mom to LV I leave all credit cards at home. Confirmed sicko here.
