[edit] Poker games
The Commerce Casino offers a wide variety of limit, pot limit and no limit poker games, including:
The casino spreads more Texas Hold 'em games than any other casino in the world[citation needed]. Games with limits of 1-2 and 2-4 are upstairs in the ballroom, while 3-6, 4-8, and 9-18 exist on the main floor, with larger limit games in the Hotel section. No Limit Hold 'em games have buy-ins as low as $40 and go much higher.
The Casino's bad beat jackpots sometimes grow into six figures[citation needed]. The jackpot amounts are doubled at regular times during the week. Between 11am-12pm and 7am-8pm and 1am-3am daily Commerce Casino offers a $100,000 Super Jackpot for Hold 'em.
Players can bring members of a home game to the Casino and they will provide game instruction, dealers, a pit boss, cards, chips and poker snacks. The "home" games act as live cash games and are eligible for jackpots.
[edit] Poker tournaments
The Commerce Casino is home to several poker tournament series, including:
- Los Angeles Poker Classic - Annual tournament beginning in January and running through early March. This is Commerce's major tournament of the year, involving a World Poker Tour event, a Professional Poker Tour event and the celebrity event, the World Poker Tour Invitational.
- California State Poker Championship - Annual tournament, held every September since 2003. Originally held in June, the tournament was moved to avoid conflict with the World Series of Poker.
- Heavenly Holdem - Annual tournament held in May. It is a tournament with smaller buy-ins where every event is Texas hold 'em.
- Holiday Bonus Tournament - Annual tournament held in December.
