Poker Debuts in the Bahamas

The Wyndham Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace Casino is the first casino in The Bahamas to announce the introduction of daily live poker play. Baha Mar Development Corp, the hotel group that recently took over ownership and management of the Wyndham, along with the Radisson Cable Beach Resort & Golf Club and Nassau Beach Hotel, is in its final preparations to launch the popular table game at the Wyndham�s Crystal Palace Casino beginning September 1.

Being the first out of the box with poker is a tremendous coup for the property, according to J. Duff Taylor, vice president of casino operations for Baha Mar Development Corporation.

�There is nothing in the gaming industry that is bigger than poker right now. The top players in the world are competing for millions of dollars on the turn of a card, and many have become celebrities in their own right. We are delighted that the Crystal Palace is leading the way for Poker here in the Bahamas, bringing poker fans and players of all levels a new destination option and casino experience,� he said.

Under Taylor�s direction, the 35,000 square foot Crystal Palace Casino is undergoing a $6.75 million renovation. Already one of the largest casinos in the Caribbean, the Crystal Palace will add hundreds of new slot machines and table games. The company is also dramatically improving machine technologies that will add a new layer of sophistication in player tracking.
