West Poker Corral. Billy's Poker Parlor is on the sixth

in the center of the main Bally's casino floor. The
Wild Wild West Poker Corral is next to the simulcast
center in the Wild Wild West casino. Billy's Poker Parlor

According to the "skill level"
and "patience factor" numbers calculated using
the methods described in "The
Poker Tournament Formula", the daily tournaments
at Bally's fall into the "skill level 3" category
- meaning they have an acceptable mix of skill and luck
for using the methods of play described in the book.
Bally's
consists of three casinos and two hotels situated
along several blocks of the Atlantic City boardwalk.
In addition to the main Bally's hotel and casino, it
also includes the Claridge hotel and casino and Wild
Wild West casino. 80,000 square feet of casino space
is devoted to a complete variety of table games and
thousands of slot machines. 24 restaurants, bars, and
lounges are distributed throughout the complex, ranging
from "fine dining" to more casual eateries
to snack bars to night clubs. A full range of spa treatments
and exercise equipment is available at The Spa at Bally's.
There's a large indoor pool at the Bally's hotel and
an additional fitness center (with another indoor pool)
in the Claridge. Bally's has an indoor connection to
Caesars Atlantic City and easy access to the restaurants
and shopping at the new Pier at Caesars. A series of
free shuttles now runs between all the Atlantic City
casinos owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment
