Shuffle 512 Austin Details

Austin has so many great options for poker, and one of them is at Shuffle 512, a quaint and stylish poker room that attracts some big games and loose players, and is run by a friendly and welcoming staff.

Shuffle 512 Austin is one of the premier poker destinations in the Lone Star State, and also one of the best looking card rooms in the state. Whether you're a grizzled veteran on the felt or just starting out in poker, or you're a recreational player who enjoys the social aspect of the game, you'll fit in well at Shuffle 512, which is located on the south side of town.

Parking is convenient and the location for the card room is a short drive away from most major Austin destinations, including the University of Texas campus.

Joining the Club

A membership at Shuffle 512 has its perks. The prices for a membership are competitive with other Texas. It costs $10 for one full day of access to the social club, which gives players the ability to buy into a cash game or tournament and hangout. Or, you can save money in the long run and purchase a monthly membership for $30. For an even larger discount, you can buy a full year of club access for just $200, one of the cheapest prices in town.

The membership isn't enough to enter a cash game, however. You also must purchase time. This is a replacement for rake, which is not taken out of any pot at legal Texas poker rooms due to the state's strict gambling laws. The cost of one hour of play is $12, but you can buy in bulk to save money (four hours for $44 or 10 hours for $100). Additionally, free time can be earned via the following promotion:

• 15-19 hours played = $12 free time
• 20-24 hours played = $18 free time
• 25-29 hours played = $24 free time
• 30-34 hours played = $36 free time
• 35-39 hours played = $48 free time
• 40-44 hours played = $60 free time
• 45-49 hours played = $72 free time
• 50+ hours played = $120 free time
