You can purchase chips from either the floor person (recommended) or a chip runner. Any questions you may have concerning the poker room can be answered by the floor person. He will either direct you to your seat or put you on the waiting list. Find out which games are available from the floor person and ask him to seat you in the game of your choice. Go to the player board at the left side of the poker room. I had a hard time making a consistent profit at Black Bear, while I would typically double my money at Minnesota Casinos such as Grand Casino Hinckley or the Canterbury Card Club in Shakopee, MN. Also, watch out for the players, they are typically regulars who know every other player’s plays. You usually don’t see more than 2 tables going on at once and it typically takes 30-45 minutes to get seated at a table. Very seldomly you can find a game of Seven Card Stud being played at Black Bear. Currently, Black Bear only has 4 tables and stakes only range from $2/$4 up to $3/$6 texas holdem and have a maximum of 9 players per table. When you walk in the door you will see the Blackjack Alley on the left where just behind it lies the Black Bear poker room.
