Poker rooms in Texas have been under the scanner for the last couple of years as the authorities have carried out sting operators on these social club poker venues to see if any of these poker rooms are breaching gaming laws. Texas does not allow gambling in public but does permit poker to take place inside private clubs.

Poker players in Houston will get access to the new poker room at the River Room Social Club. The poker room celebrated its soft launch on Dec 10 and held a $350 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em even with a $10,000 guarantee as part of its soft launch activity.
The new poker room is huge with a total of 60 poker tables as of now. The poker room has 30 big screen television sets, automated shuffling machines and a special VIP room enclosure as well. The River Room Social Club is now operating on a 24/7 basis and has confirmed that its poker room will proceed with an official grand opening in January 2023. The exact date for the grand opening will be confirmed most likely after the holidays!
