Mardi Gras Casino Pembroke Pines

What is now the Big Easy Casino opened as the Hollywood Kennel Club on December 1, 1934, three years after Florida legalized parimutuel betting.^[2] A grandstand was added in 1940. In 1974, the facility was reopened as Hollywood Greyhound Track.^[3]

Most players deal with the deck held in one hand. Then watch how the cards areactually shuffled. While a few players try to cheatin regular casinos and poker rooms, you’re more likely to runinto it in private games.The first area you need to watch is when the cards are beingdealt. In many private games the players shuffle and deal, whichcreates a perfect situation for someone to try to cheat.In order to cheat during the deal the player usually firstneeds to stack the deck, so watch how the cards are collectedand placed for the shuffle. https://treeox.amebaownd.com/posts/17120418. It’s fairly easy to learn a false shuffle andto shuffle cards in a way that leaves a number of cards on thebottom or top.Next you need to watch for the way the cards are dealt fromthe deck.

A November 2004 statewide referendum allowed Broward County voters to decide whether to allow slot machines at parimutuel facilities located in the county.^[4] Broward County voters subsequently approved the use of slots at Hollywood Greyhound and other parimutuels.

An extensive renovation project in 2006 added approximately 1,100 slot machines and a poker room to the dog track, which was renamed Mardi Gras Casino.^[5] Two years later, an additional 200 slot machines were added and, in 2009, the Big Easy Poker Room was relocated and expanded. Also included in the renovated facility were a flea market, several restaurants/bars, and a gift shop.^[6]

In 2015, the casino made further improvements, which included widening the aisles and opening up Louie's Lounge to the entire casino floor.^[7]

In 2017, the facility was closed for two months because of damage from Hurricane Irma.^[8]

In 2018, Jeffrey Soffer, owner of the Fontainebleau Hotel, purchased the Mardi Gras Casino from Hartman & Tyner, and renamed it as the Big Easy Casino.^[9]^[10]^[11]

The casino offers over 70,000 square feet of gaming space, including over 900 slot machines,^[12] virtual roulette and blackjack,^[13] as well as The Dog Pound, Mardi Gras’ smoker-friendly slot area; simulcast and greyhound racing.

The Krewe Club is a tiered membership program that includes purple, gold, black, and platinum levels. As club members play in the casino, they earn points that enable them to move up from purple, to gold, to black, and eventually to the invitation only platinum card.
