Arcare brought the heat (and the high cards) to Gulf Shores when they hosted a thrilling poker tournament at The Lodge at Gulf State Park, a Hilton Hotel. Their team flew in from Michigan for a company retreat, and for their evening entertainment, they booked BAMA Casino Company to bring the full casino poker experience to life.
With a full suite of professional poker tables and our trained, charismatic dealers, we transformed the venue into a poker player’s dream. The tournament started with high energy and ended in cinematic fashion—one finalist held pocket aces, the other a 7-8-9-10 of clubs, needing a 6♣️ for the straight flush. Against all odds, she pulled it and took the win, capping off a night to remember.
