Mandy Felice, Table Games Shift Manager, and Tony Carolo, VP of Table Games at JACK Casino. “Putting poker on the third floor was like putting Baby in the corner,” said Tony Carolo, Vice President of Table Games at JACK.Īnd, as anyone knows who’s seen the movie “Dirty Dancing,” nobody puts Baby in the corner. JACK has had a poker room since the casino opened as a Horseshoe in 2012, but it was hidden on the third floor of the former massive and historic Higbee’s Department Store in downtown Cleveland. The three-day poker party gave a glimpse of how a poker room should be run and what it looks like when it’s captained by an ambitious and poker-loving staff and backed by upper management who understand the value a great poker room brings to a casino. Making JACK’s poker room work: Greg Bacha, Supervisor Chris Lose, Manager Douglas Honre, Supervisor Robert Walker, Supervisor Alicia Herrle, Poker Supervisor Sean Linowski, Supervisor. It is impossible not to feel like live poker in America is on the right track at JACK Casino in Cleveland as its staff showed just how warm, welcoming, and straight-up fun a room can be during last weekend’s Grand Reopening celebration.
