Emperors Palace
Kempton Park · South Africa
Emperors Palace sits beside OR Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park, east of Johannesburg, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The resort publishes over 1,600 slot machines and 69 table games across a main casino, semi-private areas, an exclusive Prive area, private gaming rooms and the Jade Casino. Poker appears twice in its own pages and both times as a table game with a minimum bet rather than a buy-in: the resort-wide limits list quotes R50 on Poker, and the main casino's non-smoking tables area is described as eight American Roulette tables, five Blackjack tables and two Poker tables at the same R50 minimum. A minimum bet is how a dealer-banked variant is priced, and Emperors Palace publishes no poker room page, no cash-game stakes, no tournament calendar and no poker contact anywhere on its site, so we cannot confirm that these two tables spread player-versus-player poker. Treat the venue as unconfirmed for real poker until the room itself says otherwise.
