Card Room Etiquette

Play with Respect, Every Hand

A great card room runs on mutual respect. These simple rules keep the game fair, friendly, and enjoyable for everyone at the table.

Card Visibility

Always keep your cards on the table and in plain sight. Never hide them or remove them from the table, even for a moment.

Chip Placement

Stack your chips neatly in front of you. Avoid splashing the pot; place bets in a single, clear motion so everyone can follow the action.

String Betting

Announce your action clearly. A string bet—adding chips in multiple motions without declaring—is not allowed and may be ruled invalid.

Sportsmanship

Treat all players and staff with respect. No abusive language or behavior; maintain a positive atmosphere at all times.

Amenities & Comfort

Enjoy gourmet dining, a craft bar, and lounge areas to relax between hands. Our venue is designed to be a complete evening out, not just a card room.

  • Gourmet dining menu with seasonal dishes
  • Craft bar with premium drinks and signature cocktails
