“Playground has to be one of my favorite venues in the world to play cards," says Playground Poker Club ambassador Jeff Gross. "These guys have the formula down to a T.”
Playground also offers players a range of services to fuel their bodies and minds while at the tables. Players can order a delicious table-side meal from the Rail Coal Fire Bistro at any time, and massage therapists are also available to help with the aches and pains of a long poker session.
