The Commerce Casino has announced the addition of “Sit-n-Go” poker, which will be played on electronic poker tables.

Tim Gustin, Commerce’s Casino Manager, said two new electronic Lightning Poker Tables were installed in the poker room early in July. Lightning Poker Table Sit-n-Go’s operate much the same as games held online, except players have the chance to interact with each other in person and make visual “reads” on opponents. Each player has a 12-inch, touch-screen monitor in front of him or her to review hands and place bets. Built in to the center of the table is a 45-inch, high-definition monitor that shows bets placed by opponents and displays community cards. Action is augmented with the authentic sounds of chips clacking together and riffling of cards.

According to Commerce’s Casino Development Manager, John Griffo, the Lightning Poker Tables at the casino are set for not only Hold’em Sit-n-Go’s, but will also be used for live action $2-$4 and $3-$6 Limit Hold’em games, as well as $40 No-Limit Hold’em play. For No-Limit Sit-N-Go’s, there will be both $40 and $80 buy-in options at the Lightning Poker tables. Patrons interested in competing at the tables simply visit a casino cashier to obtain a special debit card similar to those used at slot or video poker machines. Simply slide the card into a scanner located at each of the table’s seats and you’re ready to go. While the tables seat 10, games can be started with fewer players. The starting chip count is 500 with varying blinds. Limits go up every 15 minutes. The current payout structure for the $40 game is 60 percent to the winner and 40 percent to runner-up. The $80 competitions pay 50 percent to the winner, 30 percent to second and 20 percent to third.

Feedback has been positive from patrons using the Lightning Poker Tables during the testing period at Commerce Casino. Gustin said the tables have proven to be an attractive alternative for players of all ages and skill levels. In fact, many players have been recruiting their friends to join them at the digital Sit-N-Go games.

“Overall, the reception has been quite warm for the Lighting Poker Table,” Gustin said. “We are excited to be the first casino in Southern California to provide Lighting Poker to our patrons, and extremely pleased to offer Sit-N-Go games that are very much a favorite of poker players.”
