Ok, casinos tend to be cold. I get that. But my local casino's poker room is freezing! It not only feels like a meat locker, but the vents have the cold air blowing right down on the back of your neck.
I know some people probably like this, but my hands are cold the whole 8-10 hour session, and that is with wearing two t-shirts and a hoodie type sweatshirt.
I look around the tables, and virtually everyone is wearing sweatshirts/jackets. and even their winter coats (when they brought them to the casino). I have complained (as have others), but nothing has been done, and doubt it ever will.
I dont need a jacket that is windproof, rainproof, or anything like that. I just need one that is extremely warm, but also very lightweight.
Since it is June, most stores arent going to stock a lot of this type of gear, so I will probably buy something online, and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated......

unless you are seven, this seems like something you can figure out on your own.

As I previously stated, most stores will not carry this type of merchandise in summer. Therefore, it is much more difficult to just "try on" different jackets.
There are a lot of posters here that spend hundreds of hours in cold casino poker rooms, and their recommendation is what I am looking for.
Thanks for your help however.....

Here in Detroit a hoodie is mandatory. As is a VanDyke during hockey playoff season.

Yeah, got the hoodie type jacket on, but still cold as hell in there. Plus, our casino has a stupid (no hoodie type rule), whereas you cant wear the hood on your head.
I know some people on here are hunters, campers, athletes, etc. and it would help me to know which product they think is the best, as I am sure I will be paying $150+ for a very thin, warm jacket.

Go to a camping store, or any type of store that sells camping, fishing, outdoor gear. They'll have plenty of shit for you. Shit made out of Thinsulate or other crazy miracle-fiber shit. Techwick, performance fleece, all sorts of shit to try, depending on what you are willing to wear.
Where do you live, eiu? Be easier to suggest a place if I remembered where you were, but in general, outdoorsy stores will have this gear year round.
I've never worn underarmour, but that might be a solid first layer against the cold. Multiple thin layers might be better than a jacket.

As much as I hate to admit it because it's fratboy wear, I have a North Face zip up that is comfortable as fuck. Pretty much the one below except mine doesn't have the big ass collar.

when i used to play at greektown the non smoking side was cold as fuck....once i had to buy a sweatshirt at the gift shop and the only size they had was 3x....needless to say only weighing 175 lbs it was quite large but it was the best 50 bucks i spent
