Cash Games

• 1/2 NLHE: This game is fairly consistently spread with a max buy-in of $500. Because the stacks are deeper here, it essentially plays higher than a $1/$2 game. The action is considered very tough here with a split group of very tight older players and more aggressive younger players. I've played in every poker room in Ontario, and Windsor plays the toughest of any of them at this level. There are some tourists and weekend warriors, but the core of the regulars are very good players.
• 2/5 NLHE: This game is only spread on the weekends.
• 1/3 PLO: This game is only spread on occasion.

Tournaments‍

There are various tournaments offered with buy-ins from $150 to $250. These are typically spread on Fridays, Sundays, and sometimes Wednesdays or Saturdays. Caesars Windsor also spreads bigger events from time to time, including the Legends Poker Tournament. You can see the full schedule on the Caesars Windsor tournament calendar.

Caesars Windsor currently sports the best structure in the province:

• Rake: 10% up to $8 at 1/3. (Comparable to  Casino Niagara.)
• Compensation: $1 per hour comp with a players card.

Windsor is only one of two rooms in the province that does not gouge its customers heavily with the rake. For a regular player, the extra cost incurred at the other Ontario rooms really adds up. This is a huge advantage for the regular player population.

The Caesars Windsor staff are particularly friendly and very professional. Dealer quality can be inconsistent, but most are very good. The floor staff are excellent, and the cashier and security staff keep the vibe of the casino as a positive one. This is a big advantage of the room, giving you a break from the typical less than friendly Windsor surroundings.

Caesars Windsor currently offers the province's best live poker experience for competent players who don't mind or are capable of battling tough competition. Casino Niagara is a close 2nd and may be preferable for those looking for wider game selection.
