Reservations
Anyone! All you have to do is reserve a seat. Check out our Calendar of future events and make a reservation at the bottom.
Fill out the “Live at the Bike!” Reservation Request form here.
There is always a possibility of last minute cancellations or no-shows. Your best chance of getting in the game is to be at The Bicycle Casino by 6:15pm and put your name on the board. If a seat opens up, a floorperson will call the next player in line on the board.
We will reply to your Reservation Request with confirmation information.
Check-in is 6:15pm and we start the game promptly at 6:30pm.
The “Live at the Bike!” table starts recording at 6:50pm. There is a 10 minute delay (as a security for all players) so the feed officially goes live at 7:00pm.
Making a reservation does not guarantee a seat if you are not present to claim it by 6:15pm. Once The Bicycle Casino’s board goes live and the game is underway (at 6:30pm) anyone who has not checked-in will be removed from the board and the open seat will be given to the next person in line.
If you must cancel your reservation, please do so ASAP (at least 24 hours in advance would be greatly appreciated) by responding to your confirmation information that was emailed to you when reserving your seat. If you fail to cancel and don’t show up for a reservation altogether, you will not be able to make another reservation for 90 days (in accordance with our No-Call/No-Show Policy). This policy is in place out of respect for other players who wish to play but were turned away because the games were full.
1) There are no headphones allowed at the livestream table (due to the appearance of impropriety).
2) No laptops, tablets, or any electronic device other than your cellphone is allowed.
3) Your cellphone is allowed but we ask that you step away from the table in order to have a conversation and/or check out the livestream (so as not to interfere with or slow down the game).
