- Tropicana evansville suits up for poker tournament main event Posted on August 13, 2018 After weeks of deep stack Texas Hold’em competitions, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) deals out its final hands this weekend at Tropicana Evansville in the Main Event of the Indiana State Poker Championship.
The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) is a series of deep stack Texas Hold’em tournaments held at separate locations throughout the Midwest. Tropicana Evansville is hosting the MSPT Regional Tournament in their southern Indiana casino through January 31.
The MSPT is designed to cater directly to Poker players, players who desire affordable buy-ins that also lead to large prize pools. The MSPT adds a new level of prestige to Poker in the Midwest — one of the most underrated Poker hotbeds in the country.
“MSPT has a very strong following. Some of its events have prize pools in excess of $400,000. Our preliminary events were well received by our poker players and we feel this is a great indication the main event will be strong.” says Giffen Tan, Executive Director of Gaming Operations at Tropicana Evansville.
Phone: (812) 433-4168 Minimum Age: 21 Poker Tables: 8 Tables Hours: Mon-Thu, 9am-close; Fri-Sun, 24 hours.
Prize amounts are entirely dependent on the number of players in the tournament but a Main Event Prize Pool of $50,000 is guaranteed. The Main Event will take place Thursday, January 28 through Sunday, January 31 in Tropicana Evansville’s Casino Poker Room. Tournament viewing is open to the public, but space is limited.
The previous reviews are all spot on. I waited for over two hours to play and was on the lucky side. I got there around 5:30 and there was a 15 (list grew to over 30 later in the night for just NL) person waiting list when they had 4 of the 8 tables open. They had a ton of dealers standing at empty tables out on the casino floor. When I finally got in the dealers mentioned they didn't really train them but just threw them in and hoped for the best. The dealers where all good but with no shufflers age of the table the pace was miserable.
I sat around 7:30 and left around 1:30. I played with all locals and I don't think anyone really spoke the entire time. Because of this the action was a little tight though I did hear some of the other tables were better. They had 3 games of 1-3NL and a 3-6 Omaha game going. It's was just obvious the casino cares little for the room. You would think something like shufflers would pay for themselves quickly with the increased hand so in turn increases rakes. They left a ton of money on the floor as well keeping that many people on the rails waiting.
Like I said I think I will drive to Tunica or Louisville in the future.

The dealers were all really nice and they had the best chairs of any casino I have ever been to. I don't really drink sodas but the fountain right outside the room made for a good excuse to get up and move around. The floor personnel were also very helpful.
