Dealt hands here
A cardroom is a room or establishment where card games are played, typically for money.
In casinos, the cardroom is the area dedicated to poker and other table games, distinct from slot machines.
Standalone cardrooms operate as licensed businesses where players compete against each other rather than the house: The local cardroom hosts tournaments every weekend.
