That’s a good change. Wonder if poker will reopen at some point.

From the FAQ at their homepage:

Quote:

Is the Poker Room open?
No. Per the reopening guidance from the State of West Virginia, we are only to allow table games where the cards are not touched by the guests, therefore the poker room is not authorized to operate at this time.

Suggests it will.

Also, sports book is now open.

Cards being dealt face up in 3-card poker does give the player an advantage. So at least there’s that...

I thought that too but it can be enough to flip it in players favor I don’t think or they wouldn’t offer it. Who knows though, obviously they still make a killing on bonus bets if people play them.

Hopefully wrong, I enjoy the room and Charles Town on my occasional trips up there (enjoy 9 dragons, the steak house, the sports bar, night horse racing and friendly, quiet card room with good action). No poker would mean I have made my last trip there unfortunately (like the scenic drive too).

Wonder what they do with any money left from bad beat/promo drop account.

How the mighty have fallen.

from multi-hour waits when it first opened to being shut down while 2 poker rooms on the other side of VA there are still doing brisk business.

A friend of mine who used to deal at Chuck says he heard from a credible source that the room is indeed closed permanently

Terrible. I feel bad for some of the good dealers they have, hope they land somewhere. And the regs who will miss a nice place close to home. I’ll miss the place if it’s truly done.

I played cards with a dealer from C-Town tonight. He told me the same thing.

I've been playing there since the beginning. Four to five days/week until MGM opened, and nearly every weekend since then.

The place had some faults, no doubt; but this is very sad news nevertheless.

Damn.

RIP, Charles Town.

isnt it illegal to close it permanently without refunding the BBBJ money first? in most states it definitely is.

Well they capped the bbj at 10k and used it for promotions like high hands primarily. And it was a one dollar drop instead of two (of course they had a six dollar rake). So who knows what they had left (doubt it is a huge amount). Don’t know the answer to your question specifically for West VA, but I think from previous threads here that some states do allow it to be used in other casino promotions as long as it’s returned to players (even if not necessarily poker players).

Today I spoke with someone who knows a dealer very, very well and he said the dealers haven't been told anything and that they legally don't have to tell them anything until mid-August. He added that the rumor that the employees have been laid off is not true.

This is contrary to what a former Chuck Town dealer (who is also in the know) told me last week.

Today's source is more reliable.

I heard that there were layoffs directly from an employee.
