The facility added 20 poker tables and a guest lounge within the space.

Pennsylvania’s Wind Creek Bethlehem has opened its new enclosed poker room. The addition brings with it 20 poker tables, as well as a table-side massage service.

Casino guests will have access to other amenities, including complimentary beverages, an upgraded poker lounge and quick and easy access to winnings via a cage cashier, located inside the poker room.

Wind Creek Bethlehem Poker Room Manager Joseph DeFranza said the destination wanted to provide a space for convenient and engaging play.

He commented: “We wanted to provide our guests with a poker room that is second to none.

“This room elevates an already exciting game with new, built-in conveniences that enhance the player experience.”

Wind Creek Hospitality is owned and operated by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians in Alabama. Its multiple casino locations include Wind Creek Atmore, Wind Creek Aruba, Wind Creek Bethlehem, Wind Creek Curacao, Wind Creek Montgomery, Wind Creek Wetumpka and Wa She Shu Casino in Nevada.

The brand recently signed a multi-year agreement with NBA team the Chicago Bulls. The brand will collaborate with the Bulls on several entertainment options and in-game fan promotions.

Its Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino location will represent the Bulls as the team’s official casino during and after its construction.

The facility is scheduled to open in 2023.

The company has also been working on a two-step action plan to aid its workers due to rising concerns and pressure stemming from nationwide inflation and the cost of gasoline and groceries.

Wind Creek issued a one-time cash stipend during the summer to all its employees, and implemented a flexible scheduling option that will offset the cost of fuel and childcare expenses.
