Borgata Details
The Borgata poker room has 85 tables during regular operation, which means that there is usually a seat open to jump into a game quickly. Widely regarded as the cleanest and most modern poker room in Atlantic City, The Borgata embraces new technology by running the MLife card system. This ensures that re-entries, registrations and tournament winnings can be correctly allocated via the digital system.
Borgata is one of the top venues for the World Poker Tour. It has two stops annually, including the WPT Borgata Poker Open, where millions in guaranteed cash is scattered among the participants. No-limit hold’em is the main game at the Borgata, with the majority of their tables spreading different stakes of no-limit hold’em cash games, plus 24-hour single table sit-and-go tournaments. Pot-limit Omaha and stud are also available on request.
Our members report that the Borgata experience is a thrilling one, even for seasoned players. The seven dozen or so tables of players generate a loud and buzzing atmosphere, especially during major tournaments. As mentioned, the MLife card gives players access to casino comps. At entry level, new players earn comp dollars which can be exchanged for food and premium drinks. These can be banked for future use, or combined with friends or family to make joint orders. Registration for MLife immediately guarantees access to hidden benefits such as email discounts and vouchers, plus access to private parties and hospitality. Regular players will quickly improve their MLife membership to Pearl, Gold or Platinum level, which gives access to VIP rooms and buffets, as well as priority service in restaurants and check-in queues. Other privileges include free valet parking and access to very exclusive parties.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Poker is coming back to Atlantic City, with a few tweaks to accommodate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Borgata casino said Thursday it will resume live poker play on Oct. 21. It is the first Atlantic City casino to announce the resumption of live poker.
The city’s nine casinos shut down in mid-March due to the virus outbreak. When they reopened in July at reduced capacity, none offered live poker.
The Borgata said it is taking several precautions, including limiting its poker room to just 30 tables when it can hold nearly 80. It is also keeping players distanced from each other and installing clear barriers.

“We are happy to welcome back our loyal players as we reopen Atlantic City’s market-leading East Coast poker destination,” said Melonie Johnson, the Borgata’s president and chief operating officer. “We have made some changes to enhance our guests’ experience, and are excited to reintroduce live poker and the Borgata Poker brand more safely.”
All poker play will be live cash games on seven-handed tables. Tournaments will not initially be offered, although they may be later.

Hand sanitizer dispensers will be accessible throughout the casino’s poker room, and the casino will frequently disinfect high-touch points. Masks are required in all public areas and spectators will not be permitted.
The Borgata generated nearly $18 million in poker revenue last year, making it the leader among Atlantic City casinos.
