Poker in Hong Kong

If you are a poker player and fortunate enough to be touring Far East Asia, you may find yourself having the time of your life. At least the time of your poker playing life, we hope. If your poker tour of Far East Asia lasts long enough and moves all the way to the far Far East, you may find yourself on the doorstep of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a country rich in history and scenery, but for the individual with poker on the brain the search may be long and arduous indeed. Poker players in Hong Kong may have to look high and low in order to fulfill the urge to play poker. Not that Hong Kong is not a gambling destination, because it is. There are two gambling facilities in Hong Kong. The Happy Valley Racecourse in Happy Valley and the Sha Tin Racecourse in Sha Tin, but they are both pari-mutuel facilities or Horse Race Tracks and offer no poker rooms or poker tables to their gambling visitors.

Not to be discouraged fellow poker players. There may be a poker game in Hong Kong yet. This is yet to be established. Perhaps you are willing to play in a small card house, poker house or home poker game. The Home Games Forum may help you locate such a game. If you don't find a game suitable to your needs in your area you can post a request or help start a poker game of your own. This does not mean that poker is legal in Hong Kong, at least outside of a casino. It is your responsibility as a poker player to make yourself aware of the potential dangers of gambling outside of a casino.

If you wish to discuss poker and all its glory and so forth, you can join the other poker players like yourself in the Poker Forum. For discussions about gambling at casinos in Asia you can check in at the Asian Casinos Forum. These and other forums can be easily located in the Gambling Forum Directory.

We wish you the best of luck finding a safe and fun avenue for your poker playing pursuits in Hong Kong and look forward to hearing all about it in the forums.
