The once-vaunted poker room at the Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City isn’t what it used to be. Still, the Trop Poker Club is an appealing destination for Atlantic City poker players—based on its solid, ongoing promotions.

For decades, the Trop competed for the title of Atlantic City’s top poker room with the Trump Taj Mahal. This rivalry corresponded with Atlantic City’s status as the center of the poker universe on the East Coast. Both rooms have now closed.

Most of the poker business in Atlantic City moved over to the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa after it opened in 2003. The Taj closed up shop last year in the middle of a labor dispute. It has since been sold to Hard Rock International, which is in the middle of a $500 million renovation and rebranding.
