Omaha Poker
Omaha is a card game that uses a flat disc called a dealer button to determine who receives their cards first and where the action starts for each betting round. One or more Blind Bets are used to stimulate action on the first betting round. The player closest to the left of the dealer button begins by posting a Small Blind, which is approximately half of the minimum bet for the first betting round. The player seated to the left of the Small Blind posts a Large Blind, which is equal to the minimum bet for the first betting round. A Blind Bet counts as all or part of a player’s wager and must be “posted” before you receive your cards, unless a specific game or situation dictates otherwise.

Throwing caution to the wind
We are firmly in “OPEN FOR BUSINESS” mode in the United States because screw it, right? Gotta keep feeding that DOW JONES while we wish the COVID away. As part of the feeding of the capitalism machine, almost all of the nearly 1,000 casinos in the United States are open, including Detroit’s three commercial casinos: MotorCity, MGM Grand Detroit, and Greektown. And now two of them, unbeknownst to the Michigan Gambling Control Board, have decided that they are going to reopen their poker rooms.
Detroit was one of the cities that got absolutely slammed by the novel coronavirus in the spring. Its casinos, like the casinos in the rest of the country, closed in mid-March, but they were among the last to reopen because thankfully, Governor Gretchen Whitmer didn’t completely cave to armed right-wing nutjobs storming the capital, screaming at her to reopen the economy. Now, I still don’t think casinos should be open, but I also understand that it was inevitable. So at least it took until early August for Whitmer to allow Detroit’s casinos to welcome back customers at just 15 percent of capacity.
Like most casinos, the three Detroit venues have not reopened their poker rooms. Poker rooms are particularly appealing to COVID-19, were the virus an organism with a functioning brain, as poker players sit close to each other for hours at a time, exchanging chips and cards all the while. It is a wonderful place to catch a bug if you are into that sort of thing.

Still need to work with regulators

As was the case with general casino reopening, the casinos must have their poker room plans approved by the MGCB and be given the green light from Governor Whitmer to start dealing cards again. MotorCity, though, e-mailed customers last week, telling them that the poker room was going to open this week. And a spokesman for Penn National Gaming, owner of the Greektown Casino, told The Detroit News that it plans to reopen its poker room within a few weeks. The one holdout is MGM Grand, which has no plans right now.
Mary Kay Bean, a spokeswoman for the MGCB, said that the Board would discuss a poker restart when “one of the casinos indicates an interest in offering it.”
Neither MotorCity nor Greektown, according to The Detroit News, had contacted the MGCB to get any sort of process started.
Las Vegas poker rooms getting busier
In the meantime, the Venetian in Las Vegas has already gone so far as to host a live tournament series, running September 7 through September 27. The casino was one of four – along with the Orleans, South Point, and Golden Nugget – that opened its poker room the first weekend that Nevada casinos were allowed to reopen back in early June.

The poker rooms were under strict rules and could only have four-handed tables, but they asked the Nevada Gaming Control Board if they could up that by 25 percent, which they did immediately. In that same month, the Venetian had the first multi-table poker tournament in Las Vegas and now it has the first tournament series.
