Come join the action. Hey, just got back from doing quite well at the poker room in Pensacola that somebody said would never open. 25 Tables, larger than either the IP or Beau in Biloxi.

The owners of the racetrack urged the county commissioners to approve poker at the track as the only way the track could stay in business. Since then, they have done nothing to pursue opening the poker room (the facility needs improvements as well as the buildout). As far as I know, they have 'gotten quotes,' but they probably had other motives for getting the county's approval - such as increasing the value of their business for sale? Word from the management is that they still are hoping to open the room by the end of the year, but I have slim, slim hopes of that! Guess I'll just keep driving....thanks, Pensacola Greyhound Park.

That's pretty cool that you have two setups like that in Jacksonville. I didn’t realize they were already putting poker rooms in other greyhound tracks.

Its a pretty cool setup, they simulcast race results into monitors in the poker room so people can have their bets going while they play. Good to see Pensacola's considering doing it too, its made for a great setup here. Here in Jacksonville, FL we already have poker rooms above the greyhound tracks, one on each side of town.
