The Story Behind Eugene's Home Game

High Mountain Poker started with a simple belief: the best games happen when people feel like they belong. Here's a little about who we are and why we do this.

Overview

High Mountain Poker has served Eugene’s North Gilham community for more than 17 years. It’s owned and operated by Heidi, Jeff and Lux, who came up through the room as players, dealers and managers. Today the club hosts daily cash games, weekly tournaments and charity events for Lane County organizations.

How It Started

Poker isn’t just our business. It’s our journey. Heidi joined High Mountain as a dealer and rose to general manager, and Jeff dealt here for 10 years. They bought the business in 2019, and Lux, who trained here as a dealer, joined them as an owner in 2021.

Where We Are Today

Today High Mountain runs 9 tables with daily No Limit Hold 'Em, weekly tournaments and a rotation of mixed games: Omaha, Seven Card Stud, Five Card Draw and High Low Chicago. Members register for games online, get text alerts when seats open, and still get greeted by name at the door.

What We Believe

Players Drive Everything

Part of Eugene

High Mountain Poker is more than a card room — it's part of the fabric of this city. We're proud to be a gathering place for Eugene's poker community, and we're always looking for new ways to give back to the place we call home. We've played for the Lane County Diaper Bank, Food for Lane County, the Community Thanksgiving Drive, the Shelton McMurphey Johnson House Museum and the Medical Tattooing Charity Golf Tournament.

Looking Ahead

As Eugene's poker community grows, so do we. We're always looking for new ways to make this room feel a little more like home — for the players who've been here since day one, and the ones who are just walking in for the first time. At High Mountain Poker, every hand is an adventure, and every player is part of our family. 1020 Green Acres Rd #13, Eugene · Open daily, 11 AM – 2:30 AM · (541) 485-0090
