As attendees at the Lone Star Roundup and Windy City Blowout II can attest, I dig Pineapple and Crazy Pineapple. We even came up with variations like Thermonuclear Armageddon Pineapple and it was a blast.

Please list B&M card rooms in this thread that you know spread Pineapple and Crazy Pineapple. I'm thinking of making a Pineapple road trip.

The Stratosphere spreads both with $1/2 blinds, but usually just late night and sporadically at best. Who else?

List of card rooms known to spread Pineapple games:
Bicycle Club. Bell Gardens, CA
Biltmore Hyatt, Lake Tahoe, NV
Casino del Sol, Tucson, AZ
Stratosphere, Las Vegas, NV

I know the Bicycle Club in Bell Gardens, CA spreads at least one, if not both games regularly - lots of folks gravitate back and forth between Pineapple and Omaha (where I park my keester) - I'll check the next time I go.

Heck, I would be happy with a casino that spreads LIMIT holdem. It seems everything is no limit these days, unless you want to play 1-2 or 3-6.

We throw pineapple in the home game quite frequently (A.K.A. "regrets"). It even makes it's way into the tournament on occasion (H.O.P.S.... hold-em, Omaha, pineapple and stud).

As far as places spreading, I know that Casino del Sol here very near Tucson has a crazy pineapple tournament (or at least has in the past). I also noticed it in the mixed game a couple weeks ago (a dealer choice thing).

The Biltmore (Hyatt) in Lake Tahoe, Nv. (Incline Village / N.W. shore) spreads crazy. $10/20 Limit. It's pretty much their staple game. Many locals, and always the tourists / others.

Yeah I want to hear about Thermonuclear. We invented Criminally Insane Pineapple last night where you get 4 cards, discard one face up on the flop after the betting is complete and the 2nd face up on the turn after the betting.

Pineapple is of course one card extra and it's discarded pre-flop, crazy is one card extra and it's discarded post flop. Thermonuclear is two cards extra with one discarded before and the other after the flop betting. Thermonuclear Armageddon is three cards extra, one pre-flop, one post-flop and one post turn discards. We then played a killer game that I don't think got a name, but was four cards extra with the last one discarded post river. I got killed on that one by Sandy Creek's sister Pebbles. OMG, it was the best.

Almost forgot, that we started getting really goofy and Dr. Lecterr decided we should call the games Crazy Papaya. Such a good time was had at the LSR and pineapple (er, papaya) was a big part of it.

Have updated the OP to list the four card rooms identified so far. Keep 'em coming folks.

Found this article The 'Other' Games of Poker: Pineapple | Poker News confirming The Bicycle and suggesting that Pineapple is also offered at Wynn, TI and MGM in Las Vegas as well as the Commerce Casino in CA. It also refers to a variation I wasn't familar with - crazy pineapple hi/lo 8 or better.

I've received a PM from one of my fellow midwesterners saying that Ameristar in Kansas City is known to spread pineapple on request.
