What does the room actually look like?

Nine frames from around the room — tables mid-game, the counter, the second lounge, and the bond-store shell that holds it all.

Inside the room

Before taking a photo

A short courtesy list for anyone with a camera

  • Ask before photographing another table — not everyone wants to be in frame.
  • Flash stays off during play; it's distracting for whoever's mid-hand.
  • Staff and house dealers are happy to be photographed once a hand ends, not during it.
  • Photos of chips or tables alone are always fine, any time.
