I just got home from a weekend there.
They now have 2 craps tables open, and there appears to be work being
done in the area where the Poker Room was.
I did see a sign that said "Hold Em, Roll Em, Spin Em" other games
coming soon, but no date on them. It would appear that the poker room
will be opening, I just don't know when.
Yes, I was too lazy to ask someone.

When I spoke to the Tribal President's office last week, I was told
that they expect the official opening of the Ho-Chunk Poker Room, as
well as Let It Ride, Roulette and 3 Card Poker to be February 1st.
Although the representative did say they may have a soft opening
sooner, ie., Mid January (maybe). The above three games are the only
other games they plan to offer at this time.
As for DeJope in Madison, I was told that while the Federal Indian
Gaming Act permits live Poker in a Class Two facility, the Wisconsin
statutes do not and therefore, they do not have any plans to open a
Poker Room in Madison.
What will be interesting will be the effect, both economic and
official, of the re-opening of this room on the local "underground"
poker games/events in Southern Wisconsin, time will tell I guess.

Any idea where the Poker Room is going to be located inside Ho-Chunk?
When they had poker a couple of years ago, it was in a very small room
and the tables were packed in pretty tight.

I'm not sure, but I would guess in the same place (behind the mini bar
and quick food joint). The Poker Room sign is still hanging there, and
there was a barrier preventing entry, and that is where the work was
being done.

I never once stated that I did research. I said I saw x, y, z.
Suck it.

While this did not come up in my discussions, I fully expect the room
to be in the prior location, as someone else said, behind the bar and
the snack bar.
