Pensacola Greyhound Track & Poker Room

"I just talked with one of the dealers they hired and they told me they have players working for them around the clock so they can keep their business alive. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR MONEY. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM LIKE ALL INTERNET GAMBLING SITES"

"To anyone who says they have players working for them is incorrect. They have a 3rd party company that acts as the “house” they don’t deal the cards they are simply the loophole to keep these places open. You can’t play against the dealers or “house” so they have someone sit at the tables with the chips which from I’ve learned makes it’s all legal"

"We were pleasantly surprised! Very clean, plenty of parking and seating inside, NO SMOKING HALLELUJAH!!! People who work there are Super Nice and the lady that takes your bets is Fast and Friendly!!"

"Went to play in a 30,000 guaranteed tourney. After registration it took 1 hr and 20 min to get in the game and had to play some deep stacks. Yes I did get pocket kings and double up but it could have made for a hard time. Too many cash games going on at the same time. Place is kinda run down compared to other establishments."

"Man, what a cool blast from the 80s past. As far west of Pensacola that you can get off hwy98 on dog track road, sits the 75 year old Pensacola Dog Track and Poker Room. Outdated appeal? Yes! Falling apart exterior? Yes! But, at least the inside is preserved and not updated. I love the black block painted signs above tellers and state department doors instructing patrons with "Cash Out" & "IRS" reminders. One half of the inside is dedicated floor space to 5 and 10 dollar minimum poker. 20 poker, pai gau, 3 card poker, Texas Holdem, and Aligator one card drawd tables. The gaming floor /facility is eparated by a big L Shaped snack bar with hot and cold, $7-$10 sandwiches, $5 booze, or your choice from 3 out of 6 working taps flowing cold $4 draft beer. On the other side was where I played. The televised remnants of Grey hound dog racing is here. Bet on your ponys or dogs, live, but not on the track. Instead, dozens of wall mounted monitors broadcast races every 10 to 20 minutes from tracks where greyhound racing is still allowed, including Mexico and the 26 tracks in Austrailia. Only about 25 patrons bet on dogs around me on this sparse Tueaday night. About 12 of 20 poker tables were live and racking in the chips from a cornecopia of retired men, middle aged asians nail shop owners, blue colar AC repairmen (names on workshirts, trucks in parking lot), Very few women. The original track pictured is overgrown, the dog kennel area is still there, Idle since 2019, the terraced betters seating box area with hundreds of leather swivel chairs and cocktail tables await the reverse trend back toward live Grey hound racing, if it ever happens. For now the Wind River Indian Casino Group purchased and runs this facility. I may have won $20 dollars on 2 races. My Dad won for 2 hours until he didn't. I also had a lovely conversation with a manager who shared the history of the track. I want to go back to Pensacola Dog Track for more cool nostalgia, nice folks, cold beer, while sitting there to see if my $5 bet on my choice dog running the next race in Wheeling, WV pays off again."
