Poker comes to Fort Pierce Jai Alai
The poker room opened April 28 and is luring first-time customers as well as some who previously went to West Palm Beach or Melbourne to gamble.
I ve played poker at home, said Rich Lingman, of Port St. Lucie. I think they have a nice place that is clean, well-lit, and the people are friendly.
You have to win to pay for the gas to get here, he said with a laugh.
It s mostly entertainment for him, but Kerry Grimes of Hobe Sound has a more serious purpose.
He played three times a week in West Palm Beach to supplement his income, because the drywall business is suffering from the economic downturn.
It s a little farther to get to Fort Pierce Jai Alai on Kings Highway, but Grimes said lighter traffic means a quicker drive to a new, clean poker room with a friendlier staff.
The hostesses try to remember your name and what you drink, Grimes said. The staff will try to accommodate you with whatever you want.
Players sign up for Texas Hold em, seven-card stud or no-limit. They re called when a seat is available and join other players and a dealer at a table.
The Fort Pierce Jai Alai fronton opened in 1974 as a summer training ground for Miami Jai Alai players and in the early days attracted more than 5,000 customers to each performance.
The fronton s season has shrunk from eight to 10 months a year to only two months as Jai Alai faces competition from video games, the Internet and other new forms of entertainment, Assistant General Manager Stuart Neiman said.
These rooms are just a way of keeping the business going and profitable, he said.
The fronton lost 1,500 seats to make way for the poker room.
The poker room s opening turned out to be grander than we imagined, Neiman said. We ll have the official grand opening when all the construction is finished on the entrance.
St. Lucie County commissioners rejected a card room proposal in 1996, saying they wanted to see how it worked in other areas. A new group of commissioners approved the idea last year.
We re really happy about having the opportunity to bring something new and nice to the area s economy, Neiman said.
