One of the largest poker rooms in the United States is set to reopen this Wednesday after being closed since mid-March due to the pandemic. Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey will open its doors at 10 a.m. local time, albeit with some changes.
The room, which previously housed 77 tables, will open with just 30 spaced-out tables, each with polycarbonate divides between each seat. Only seven-handed cash games will be offered as there are no plans for tournaments right now. However, players can expect some lucrative promotions including a Bad Beat Jackpot starting at $100,000.

Harrah's opened a new poker room as of July 2008. A friendly room with 40 tables that is open 24/7. Although the room is mainly a low limit and NL Hold'em room, the staff is very accomidating is is willing to spread any game that demand brings. The Harrah's properties stand alone running Atlantic City's only Bad Beat Jackpots similar to the ones popular in Las Vegas. July 2008 - the poker. Second part to my Super Bowl Weekend in Atlantic City. I played Cash Poker at Harrahs Resort and Casino. The Session went pretty well. I hope everyone enjoys it. Please dont forget to SUBSCRIBE. In total, there are 5 poker rooms within casinos in Atlantic City: the poker tables at the Borgata, Bally's, Harrah's, Golden Nugget, and Tropicana. Considering that the poker room at the Borgata has already reopened on October 21, this makes Harrah's WSOP-branded poker room the second to return to play in the city. $1,675 Main Event Seat at the Harrah's AC WSOP Circuit Event held at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City. Players who win a second prize package can use the $1,675 to re-enter into the main event.

While Borgata was the last casino to reopen in Atlantic City, it will be the first of the city's poker rooms to welcome back players. It's by far the busiest against the competition, which includes Harrah's Atlantic City, Bally's, Golden Nugget, and Tropicana. Over the past two years, the combined revenue from all five rooms has totaled approximately $28.5 million each year. In 2019, just shy of $18 million of that came from Borgata.

— BorgataPoker (@BorgataPoker)Looking to Continue Strong Legacy
Borgata has a long history in the poker world. Not only do they host popular in-house tournament series like the Borgata Spring/Summer/Fall Poker Open (all of which were canceled this year), but they also enjoy a longstanding relationship with the World Poker Tour.
In fact, prior to the pandemic, the 2020 World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open $3,500 Main Event took place, which saw a 1,290-entry field whittled down to the final six players. The final table was slated to play out at the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on April 1, but the pandemic interrupted those plans.
Even now, that final table – as well as those for the 2020 WPT Gardens Poker Championship and WPT L.A. Poker Classic – are still on hiatus with an unknown return date. As such, players like Veerab Zakarian, James Anderson, Brian Altman, Bin Weng, Andrew Hanna, and Nathan Russler will need to wait to see who walks away with the title and $674,840 first-place prize.

Despite the pandemic, the WPT and Borgata continued their relationship last month by hosting the WPT Online Borgata Series powered by partypoker US Network. The 10-event series saw Tony 'ToNiSiNzz' Sinishtaj top a 440-entry field to win the $1,060 Main Event for $77,349.
