We are still waiting for real poker in the Tampa Bay area. There is the Sun Cruz out of Treasure Island but even though it is the only no-limit game in the area it really doesn’t count. The games offered change from cruise to cruise and if your schedule doesn’t match theirs you’re SOL. I guess the closest we had to a full Las Vegas style casino room was aboard the ill-fated Ocean Jewel (remains of the website) that offered 1-2 NL, 2-5 NL and the occasional 10-20 NL game. There hasn’t been a regular no-limit game or any limit games above $2 since the OJ filed for bankruptcy in October of 2005.
There is the promise of a poker room on the Casino Royale ship but the most recent article states the ship is in the Bahamas undergoing general maintenance and interior upgrades. The best guess looks like the ship might be operational late this spring. We'll see if this latest casino ship pipe dream can shake off its problems and make a go of it here.
