Caesars Entertainment has changed its policy in poker rooms to restrict the use of cash at poker tables.
According to a press release on the World Series of Poker website, Caesars said players will be required to purchase casino chips with cash to participate in any live-action poker game.
“This means that cash will no longer play on poker tables in our gaming destinations.”
“We believe this decision best aligns our guest experience to stay up to date with evolving industry standards and ensure our operations can deliver great experiences consistently,” the company said, adding that the new policy has no impact on poker tournaments the company offers.
