Atlantis Bahamis Resort & Casino is one of the most iconic destinations in the Bahamas, known for its luxurious accommodations, stunning beaches, and world-class casino. While Atlantis once played host to the famous PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA), one of the most prestigious poker series in the world, it no longer runs regular poker tournaments or offers a permanent poker room. The PCA series, which ran from 2004 to 2019, attracted top international poker players with its large prize pools, including the renowned $10,300 Main Event.

Currently, poker enthusiasts can find variations of poker such as Caribbean Poker or Ultimate Texas Hold’em, where players play against the house rather than against other players. These games are part of the overall casino experience at Atlantis, which continues to attract tourists and gamblers from around the world, offering a high-end gaming environment. However, for players seeking traditional poker games like No Limit Hold’em, regular poker tournaments or cash games are no longer available at the venue.
