Poker at Elements Casino Mohawk

For game-integrity reasons, players with live hands must ensure all table communication is in English and audible to the dealer from the initial deal until the pot is awarded.

Players not in the hand may speak quietly in another language if the communication does not involve the hand, is not directed to a player with a live hand and does not disrupt play or raise integrity concerns. Accommodation requests will be considered by the Floor Supervisor, subject to game integrity, safety, and regulatory requirements.

The decision of the Poker Pit Manager / Supervisor is final.

The rules of play are intended to create a fair game and to ensure that a Player who makes an error is the one who suffers the consequences. In situations not covered by the rules or where a mechanical following of the rules would be clearly unfair, the House has the discretion to make decisions to ensure a fair game.
