Around The Clock Poker Helping Revenue in Canada Casino

Poker players do not sleep. They sometimes go hours, if not days. playing cards at the same table in the same casino. Operators have begun to catch on to that trend and are keeping casinos open all night.

One casino in Canada has seen their revenue increase thanks to a decision to keep their card room open twenty four hours a day. In essence, that means no time to sleep for the weary.

When tournaments are played, the cutoff time can sometimes be late into the night. In the WSOP in Las Vegas, play begins in the mid morning and can sometimes go until two or three A.M. the next day.

Century Casino and Hotel in Edmonton, Canada decided at the beginning of the last quarter of 2007 that going to around the clock poker could be beneficial. Their premonition has been correct so far.

Revenue numbers have been up since the casino has gone to twenty four hour poker. More people are going to the casino as well. The casino has also expanded their poker tables to nine. In addition to the tables, they also hold tournaments on Sunday and Thursday to try and attract the serious card players.
