Walk into any casino today, and you'll find all different variations of poker being played. Three Card. Caribbean Stud. Let It Ride. You name it. They have a poker game with a unique twist and tempting bonus bets to go along with it.

But old-fashioned poker — where the players are out to beat each other rather than the house — has stood the test of time. Poker rooms have long been an important amenity inside casinos and are to this day a popular draw, with some properties hosting an astounding number of tables.
