The Canton Charity Casino was playing for Strategic Partners in Community Athletic Development on the day I came in. The Shark Club is a huge venue with pool tables, darts, and large screen TV’s everywhere you look! At 6:30 there were two full cash tables running, with players waiting for a third table to open up. Tom, the poker room manager, seems to be having
the time of his life, and it shows everywhere in the venue.

#1 Games: 5 of 5 chips
The Canton Shark Club is another one of those venues that offer more games than I have chips to give! You can play $1/$2 or $2/$5 NL, $3/$6 Limit, $1/$2 or $2/$5 Omaha H/L, 7-Card Stud and Round by Round. Plenty of cash game players come into the Shark Club—there are always enough players to get a cash game going. They offer Sit-N-Goes any time and a different tourney format every day of the week.

#2 Tournaments : 4 of 5 chips
80% of the tournament buy-ins go back into the prize pool, along with a generous 70% of the add-ons and rebuys. Each day the tournament format changes. Tournament Director
software on a laptop keeps the blinds and timer on display. Dealers keep the game moving along. There’s not always enough tournament players to get a game going—though the cash tables are packed!

#3 Atmosphere: 5 of 5 chips
What a great location! Just off 275, a little past Ikea. Lots of well lit, close parking. As you walk in, the bar is in front of you, pool table & darts to the right, more pool tables and
poker tables to the left. Big screen and projections TV’s are everywhere. Music plays in the background. Giant fish tanks run the length of the room. The high ceiling and ventilation
keep smoke to a minimum. The pool tables are well lit. The place is huge, but arranged to keep the atmosphere friendly and social. The Shark Club has gone above and beyond to welcome the charity poker room players.

#4 Equipment : 4 of 5 chips
This is a well-equipped poker room! Each table seats nine players plus a dealer in nice cushy
chairs. These are the race-track style tables with cup holders at each seat. Custom stamped chips at each cash table, professional dealer buttons. Minus one chip for the folding legs on the poker tables.

#5 Staff: 5 of 5 chips
Tom and his team run a professional and welcoming poker room. Tom welcomes each one of his regulars with a smile and a handshake, escorting each new player to their seat. The dealers are fast, friendly and accurate! Jen, Charlie and the rest of the dealers are great making new players feel welcome, and moving the game along to keep the veteran players happy. The Shark Club also gets extra chips for the fast, friendly wait staff!

The Canton Shark Club is a first-class establishment, fun atmosphere, a great location, amazing staff and great equipment. The players have fun and the non profit organizations raise funds for great causes.
