The final section is the closed-off VIP area, dubbed Benny’s Back Room. The second section, which sits on a mezzanine, is for those who play the higher stakes and the great game that is Pot Limit Omaha. Those who play lower-stake games will find themselves here, and with 25 tables to play on, you’re sure to find a game to jump into. The Horseshoe Hammond poker room can essentially be split into three sections, the first of which is the main poker floor. This is further entrenched with massive posters of famous names from the poker world, with the likes of Stu Ungar and young Doyle Brunson watching over you whilst you run it up at the poker table. The room is an homage to founders of the Horseshoe brand, Jack and Benny Binion, which will evoke pleasant feelings of nostalgia for those familiar with poker and gambling history. Having recently undergone a $485 million renovation, new and improved Horseshoe Hammond looks superb and sharp while giving off an old midwestern saloon-type vibe.
The poker room offers a variety of poker cash games and daily tournaments and is a regular destination on the World Series of Poker circuit. Featuring over 30 poker tables and a high-limit private section to boot, all poker players can find some action here, regardless of the size of their bankroll.
Horseshoe Hammond is home to one of the best and busiest poker rooms in Chicago.
