"A casino in Hammond, Indiana, renowned locally for having the best poker room in the area, where a $50–$100 mixed game runs a few times a week and attracts a gritty mix of amateurs and professionals (and occasional very deep-pocketed players). It’s about a half-hour drive from home, often requires waiting for a seat, and has been the setting for long sessions where he cycles through big losses and modest recoveries. Late-night dining options inside the facility make it a convenient stop after long games." - Chris Crowley
