Casino[edit]
The Jack Casino Poker Room
Jack Cleveland Casino is located in the former Higbee Building at Tower City Center in downtown Cleveland.[1] It has 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of gaming space. The casino has 1,609 slot machines, 119 table games, 28 poker tables, and 35 electronic table games. The casino is accessible from Public Square, but is also accessible from the Terminal Tower and the Tower City Center shopping mall. The casino has teamed with the Renaissance, the Ritz-Carlton, and the Marriott at Key Center to offer rooms to its guests, and Rock Ohio Caesars purchased the Ritz-Carlton from Forest City Enterprises.[2] The casino is open 24 hours a day and is completely smoke-free, compliant with Ohio law. Since the casino has limited dining options, it has partnered with nearly a dozen downtown Cleveland restaurants.
History[edit]
Ohio voters approved (53%) a state constitutional amendment in November 2009 authorizing casinos in the state’s four largest cities: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo.[3] It was the fifth statewide vote to legalize gambling in Ohio over 20 years.[4]
Horseshoe Cleveland opened on May 14, 2012 as the first casino in the state of Ohio.[5] It was developed by Rock Ohio Caesars, a joint venture between Caesars Entertainment and Dan Gilbert's Rock Gaming, and managed by Caesars.
Hollywood Casino Toledo, developed and operated by Penn National Gaming, opened on May 29, followed by Hollywood Columbus, which opened on October 8, 2012.[6] Rock Ohio Caesars also developed Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, which opened on March 4, 2013.[7]
Gross casino revenues are taxed at 33 percent, one of the highest rates in the nation for a resort casino with this level of investment. Portions of the tax revenue are designated for public school districts; the four host cities; all 88 state counties; the Ohio State Racing Commission; law enforcement training; and research and treatment of problem gambling and substance abuse.[8] The bipartisan Ohio Casino Control Commission was created in 2011 to develop rules for casino gaming in Ohio, to license operators and to regulate and ensure the integrity of operations. It is also funded by casino tax revenue.[9]
Rock Gaming acquired Caesars Entertainment's 20% stake in Rock Ohio Caesars in February 2015,[10] and later in the year announced that it would assume management of the properties, including Horseshoe Cleveland.[11] Rock Gaming announced in February 2016 that the company and its casinos would rebrand under the Jack name.[12] The casino closed for 40 hours in May 2016 to undergo its transition to the Jack name and management.[13][14]
In 2020, Jack Entertainment sold the casino's real estate to Vici Properties and leased it back.[15]

United Kingdom's Jack Hardcastle became the latest poker player to join the exclusive WPT Champions Club after he came out on top of a field of 888 entrants to win the WPT Montreal $3,200 Main Event at partypoker for his biggest poker tournament cash to date of $447,859.
Hardcastle is one of poker's latest success stories with one big online poker tournament score after another in recent months. Less than a month ago, he managed his previous biggest score in his poker career at the time after he finished in fourth place after agreeing to a four-way deal at the final table in the PokerStars Blowout Series: $109 NLHE – The Big Blowout! to win $270,764.
The WPT Montreal is typically held at the popular Playground Poker Club but for obvious reasons was held online this year for the first time at partypoker. This fact wasn't lost on Hardcastle who is known to not only be one of poker's sharpest minds but also a quick wit as well.
'I’m so good that I managed to win WPT Montreal without leaving my house,' Hardcastle said on Facebook to his friends after the win.

WPT Montreal Main Event Action
The WPT Montreal Main Event attracted 888 entrants via two opening flights. This generated a massive $2,664,000 prize pool to smash the already generous $2,000,000 guarantee.
A total of 133 players advanced to Day 2 with the field whittled down to just 23 hopefuls on Day 3. Day 3 played down to a final table and Hardcastle nearly didn't make it there. Near the end of the day, Hardcastle was at risk with eights against two players holding jacks and kings. An eight hit the board and instead of hitting the rail, Hardcastle temporarily snagged the chip lead.
The final table took slightly more than five hours. Dan Shak kicked off the action with the chip lead with Rayan Chamas, Andrei Kriazhev, and Hardcastle all close behind.
Very soon into the action, Kriazhev, who was the chip leader entering Day 2, won a big pot against Charles Chattha to become the table captain.
Chamas also chipped up very quickly into the final table after he eliminated the short-stacked Upeshka De Silva in a huge cooler with both players holding the big slick. Chamas' big slick was suited and he improved to a flush to send De Silva packing in ninth place for $37,024.
Marcel Kunze was next to go in eighth place when his ace-nine couldn't get there against Kriazhev's big slick to collect $46,685.
Shortly after Chattha claimed the chip lead and Hardcastle and Jakob Miegel held the two short stacks in play. Hardcastle then began his run at the final table by eliminating Miegel (seventh - $58,650) when his ace-king suited held against ace-three.
Chattha's chip lead didn't last long with Hardcastle temporarily claiming the honors for the first time at the final table before Khiazhev once again took the lead. Hardcastle then claimed the lead back while sending Chattha to the showers in sixth place for $74,119 when his cowboys held against king-queen suited.
Khiazhev then hit a bit of a cooler to lose most of his stack to Shak after a failed attempt with limping aces. Shak held a suited big slick and improved to a flush to get close to the chip lead. Shortly after, Khiazhev dusted off his short stack and collected the fifth-place prize of $95,673 when his jack-ten couldn't get there against the ace-ten suited held by Felix Schulze.
It was then Schulze who hit the rail next in fourth place for $139,164 on a bad beat while also giving Chamas a small chip lead in three-handed play. Schulze was committed with ace-jack suited on a jack-high flop but didn't hold when Chamas improved to two pair holding king-ten suited.
Hardcastle then took the lead back once again and extended it further heading into heads-up play against Chamas after he eliminated Shak in third place for $212,459 when his ace-five suited held against king-jack.
Heads-Up Action
The heads-up action began with Hardcastle holding about twice as many chips as Chamas. Hardcastle extended his lead and seemed to be cruising to victory before Chamas doubled up to bring the stacks close after jamming against Hardcastle with a gutshot straight draw and two counterfeited over-cards which were counterfeited) and getting there.

Chamas was unable to gain momentum and was eliminated in second place after two failed bluffs against Hardcastle. Although Chamas wasn't able to claim the title, he did walk away with a healthy runner-up payout of $308,703 for his valiant effort.
Meanwhile, congrats to Jack Hardcastle on a huge win and joining the exclusive WPT Champions Club.
