Playground’s weekly tournament schedule is moving online to partypoker, just like our cash games. We have 2 daily tournaments scheduled, 7 days a week. The first one is at 12:00pm EDT and the second at 7:00pm EDT. All buy-ins are half the amount with the formats and structures you’re used to, on the same days you’re used to playing them. These tables are restricted to Playground members, and display your real name.

Playground goes online!
Mar 20, 2020, 12:22 PM
As we all deal with the unprecedented situation surrounding the recent COVID-19 outbreak, live poker will obviously need to be put on pause. A lot of us will be stuck at home over the next few weeks, forced to keep away from those we normally interact with, in an effort to contain the spread of the virus. As such, Playground has made arrangements with partypoker to create, as of March 21, Playground specific Online Cash Games. What does this mean? It means that you’ll be able to play at tables restricted to the same group of players you’re used to sitting with at Playground. As well, on these tables, a player’s real name will appear, so you know exactly who it is you’re up against! These tables will be accessible in the main Cash Game lobby on partypoker, identified by our logo, and named using our club name followed by […]
WPTDeepStacks Postponed
Mar 16, 2020, 4:21 PM
Over the course of the last week, Playground implemented a series of measures to support the effort to combat the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), which culminated in a complete closure on Friday night at 11:59pm. Today, we announce that the WPTDeepStacks Montreal, on Playground’s event schedule from April 16 to April 27, 2020, is postponed indefinitely. The decision was taken in conjunction with our partners the World Poker Tour and partypoker LIVE. All of us are still very excited about the WPTDeepStacks Montreal and we wish to assure the community that the new dates will be made public as soon as they are decided. Playground’s senior management team is still meeting daily, analysing the latest news and development and discussing the best course of action for the public’s safety. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Closure Announcement

After closely following the development of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on a daily basis, Playground feels that a suspension of activities is the wisest course of action at this time.

Playground will cease all operations, as of 4:00am on Saturday, March 14. No new guests will be permitted on the premises after 11:59pm tonight. Playground will close and remain so until further notice. The Rail Coal Fire Bistro will remain open, with slight changes to its operating hours. The Rail will be open from 6:00am to 11:00pm Sunday through Thursday and from 6:00am to 3:00am on Fridays and Saturdays.
