Games we spread vary based on guest demand, with no-limit and limit games in various dollar amounts starting at $1-$2 no-limit and $2-$4 limit Texas Hold’em. Harrah’s Poker Bad Beat Jackpot was hit on Thursday in a $2-$4 limit game. Anytime the jackpot hits on 2-4 game, it seems like almost a waste. The jackpot was for about $19,000 and the dealer didn’t even crack $1,000 in tips. That’s pretty terrible if you ask me. Harrahs Joliet Poker Room, Joliet, Illinois. 874 likes 324 were here.

Harrah's Joliet Poker Bad Beats
Most Illinois poker rooms are closed indefinitely due to COVID-19, but Harrah’s has decided to cease operations for good.
On Oct. 28, the poker room will award $427,800 in bad-beat jackpot money via a drawing. Anyone who played jackpot-eligible games between Oct. 20, 2019, and March 15, 2020, will be entered into the drawing.
Entries will be based on the total number of hours that people played during that time period.
Here’s more info from the Harrah’s official website:
“The drawing will take place on October 28, 2020. Entries are determined based on hours and minutes played during this time period. We will select 150 winners who will each receive $2,852. Winners do not need to be present to win. We will attempt to contact all winners by phone or email. In addition, we will post the list of winners below. The list of winners will also be available at Caesars Rewards. Winners will reserve a time slot to receive their payment and will have until November 30, 2020, to collect their prize. Please see Caesars Rewards for complete rules and regulations.
The statement did not provide a reason for the closure.
What the Harrah’s Joliet poker room offered
There were eight poker tables at Harrah’s Joliet, and the poker room was open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. before the pandemic.
The World Series Of Poker Room, as it was called, offered players live-action Texas Hold’em and Omaha games.
Deep Stack, Bounty, Mini-Deep and Bounty Deep Stack tournaments would take place on Saturdays.
Harrah’s also hosted a WSOP Poker League, a nine-week competition where the winner would earn a main event seat in Las Vegas. The tournament also offered weekly prizes.
Other poker rooms closed indefinitely
Prior to the Harrah’s news, six of Illinois’ 10 casinos had poker rooms:
- Grand Victoria Casino Elgin
- Harrah’s Joliet
- Harrah’s Metropolis
- Hollywood Casino Aurora
- Jumer’s Casino & Hotel
- Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino
Like Harrah’s, Grand Victoria Casino Elgin is also a Caesars property.
The casinos have all been open since July, but the poker rooms are closed indefinitely. Based on how COVID-19 cases are climbing in Illinois, that likely won’t change soon.
The poker rooms have been closed since March.
That’s the case in many US regions at the moment, but a few Indiana poker rooms have reopened. Four Winds Casino South Bend’s poker room, for instance, opened on Tuesday.
