All around the world, there is a growing following of poker players. There are numerous YouTube videos with Texas Holdem with thousands of views; there are online casinos, and televised poker games. One of the questions tourists Google or  ask when visiting Puerto Vallarta is where can I play poker? Are there any casinos?
There are seven or eight casinos in the Vallarta area. Not all of them offer table or live games. Three top casinos that stand out and offer cash poker games and/or Texas Holdem tournaments are:

1. Winclub Casino Platinum -  Plaza Punto Banderas, Blvd. Puerto Vallarta
2. Casino Encanta - Av. Héroes de Nacozari #200, Centro, 63735 Bucerías
3. Emotion Casino - Blvd. Francisco Medina Ascencio 2920, Puerto Vallarta

As a gambler and poker player, and as a tourist, safety is always on my mind. Gambling means carrying cash, sometimes staying out late and although there are many home games, there is a sense of safety going to a real casino. My favorite is the Winclub Platinum which is located near the airport. It is larger than most with new machines and Texas Holdem games almost every night. Players have a menu that they can order from and eat free. There are also smaller table games including roulette. 
As a special note, the Encanta Casino in Bucerias is the only casino in the Vallarta area that has a craps table. If you are looking for the feeling of two dice in your hand and placing bets on your own come-out roll, and favorite numbers, then take a trip to the Encanta Casino.

If you are looking for Texas Holdem in Vallarta, experience the Winclub Platinum for your gambling needs. They have friendly staff and a clean, safe environment. Responsible gambling, stay within your limit and good luck.
