Pull Up a Chair in the Island Poker Room Experience poker at its finest in the Island Poker Room. Featuring poker action five days a week, the Island Poker Room brings the excitement and action of Vegas-style poker to the Midwest. The recently updated poker room offers the latest in poker tables, seating and ambience.

The facility offers over 100,000 square-feet of premier gaming and entertainment. Ilani hosts more than 2,500 slots, 75 gaming tables and 15 different restaurants, bars and retail shops all conveniently located inside the casino. What does the building look like? Thanks to the Friedmutter Group, ilani boasts extremely high quality designs. The lines are a little long to get player's cards, but it's a new casino. I read a lot about what they don't have (bingo, buffet, hotel), but I think it's great for being a new place that will grow with time. The dealers are very friendly, I win or lose at slots just like at every other tribal casino, we had a great meal at Line & Lure. No keno, no poker room, very high table stakes, no $5 black jack. No self serve soda/coffee station. And very hard to even get a cart person with that complimentary bottle of water or soda while playing very tight slots. Every tribal casino in the northwest is far superior. The ilani casino is located on 156-acres near La Center, Washington – just 20 minutes from the population centers of Vancouver, WA, and Portland, Oregon. “We are extremely pleased to open the doors to ilani and provide the local community with a source for economic growth,” said Cowlitz Tribal Chairman Bill Iyall in a recent press release.

TEXAS HOLD 'EM
Hold ‘Em is a community card game. Each player receives two cards. There are designated blinds in Hold ‘Em (usually two: a small and a big in the first and second positions to the left of the dealer button). After the initial round of betting, three cards are turned up on the table, commonly referred to as a “flop.” There is a betting round after the flop, then two more cards are turned up, one at a time, with a round of betting after each card. Players match their two hole cards with the five community cards on the board. The best 5-card hand wins the pot.

PINEAPPLE HOLD ‘EM/CRAZY PINEAPPLE HOLD ‘EM
A variation of Texas Hold ‘Em, each player is dealt three down cards instead of two. After the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards before the flop. All other rules of Hold ‘Em apply. Pineapple Hold ‘Em can be played either high or high-low split. A qualifier of eight-or-better is usually needed to win the low hand in the split game. In Crazy Pineapple Hold ‘Em, after the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards after the flop. All other rules of Pineapple Hold ‘Em apply.

7-CARD STUD
Seven-card stud is played with two down cards and one up card, a betting round, followed by three more up cards (with betting round after each), then a final down card and a final round of betting. The best 5-card hand wins the pot. The initial action is made by the player with the lowest ranking up card. On subsequent betting rounds, action is started by the highest ranking card. In a fixed limit game, if there is an open pair on the fourth card, players have the option of making a bet or raising the higher limit.

OMAHA
Omaha is similar to Hold ‘Em, except each player is dealt four down cards instead of two. The betting is same as Hold ‘Em. However, to make a hand, a player must use precisely two hole cards with any combination of exactly three board cards.

OMAHA HI-LO SPLIT EIGHT-OR-BETTER
A variation of Omaha, players may use any combination of two hole cards and three board cards for their high hand and another (or the same) combination of two hole cards and three board cards for the low hand. A qualifier of Eight-or-better is required for the low hand. If no player can make a low hand, the high hand wins the entire pot.

POT LIMIT HOLD ‘EM
In Pot Limit Hold ‘Em, a player can open for any amount up to four times the size of the big blind. Any player may bet and raise the amount of money in the pot. In raising the pot, a player must consider the total amount of called bets including their own call as part of the pot. All raises must be equal to or greater than the size of the previous bet or raise.

NO LIMIT HOLD ‘EM
In a No Limit Hold ‘Em game, there are designated blinds and/or antes plus a designated opening bet. Beyond this structure, any player may bet any amount of money they have on the table.

7-CARD HI-LO SPLIT - EIGHT OR BETTER
A variation of 7-card stud, the best high hand splits the pot with the best low hand. However, in order to win the low half, the player must have an 8-low or better. If there is no low qualifier, the high hand wins the entire pot.

7-CARD LO (RAZZ)
Razz is a low ball game. The lowest hand wins the pot. Aces are low and straights and flushes have no effect on the value of the hand. In Razz, the high card has the forced opening and the low hand is first to act thereafter.
