The S Kings Highway address is in the western Fort Pierce area, accessible from US-1 and I-95 via Exit 129 to Kings Highway north.

The Stronach Group (Amelia/1st Step Entertainment) is the operating company founded by the Stronach family that has historically managed multiple Florida pari-mutuel facilities, including Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach.

The overlap in website presence between Fort Pierce and Gulfstream Park reflects this shared corporate infrastructure.

Poker Room

Fort Pierce Jai-Alai & Poker’s 25-table poker room spreads 7 Card Stud, Limit Hold’em, NL Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Pot Limit Omaha cash games.

Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) is the four-hole-card community-card format with pot-limit betting — the ante structure that generates larger average pots than NL Hold’em at equivalent stakes and requires players to use exactly two of their four hole cards. Omaha Hi-Lo is the split-pot variant requiring qualifying low hands. The combination of PLO, Omaha Hi-Lo, and 7 Card Stud alongside NL and Limit Hold’em gives Fort Pierce Jai-Alai & Poker one of the deeper format poker rooms on the Treasure Coast, appealing to dedicated Omaha and Stud players who cannot find these games at standard Hold’em-only operations. Current stakes and running game schedules should be confirmed by calling (786) 279-6521.

Table Games and Jai Alai

Beyond the poker room, Fort Pierce Jai-Alai & Poker offers house-banked table games: Casino War, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, High Card Flush, Three Card Poker Progressive, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.

Casino War is a heads-up card comparison game — one card each for player and dealer; the higher card wins; ties trigger a war sequence. High Card Flush has players form the best single-suit flush from seven dealt cards and compete against the dealer’s hand. Three Card Poker Progressive adds a progressive jackpot side bet on top of the standard Three Card Poker structure. Fortune Pai Gow Poker adds a progressive side bet to standard Pai Gow Poker. The house-banked table game authorization at Florida pari-mutuel facilities is distinct from the cardroom poker authorization — both can operate simultaneously at licensed frontons.

Live jai alai matches at Fort Pierce Jai-Alai represent one of the oldest continuing jai alai operations in Florida — the fronton has operated since 1944. Greyhound simulcasting provides year-round pari-mutuel wagering on greyhound races from active tracks.
