Really??? Why is this important?
Seems like a legal loophole you stuck in there so you don't have to pay very many jackpots.

LOl. Unless I'm mistaken nearly every house in Vegas requires at least 4 active players to be eligible for a jackpot. And for the record, we have paid nearly 2k i 1.5 days of running this promotion... seems like a good bit of money to me.

Ah, I guess when you put it that way, you mean four players seated? Any less than 4 players and the table would break anyway. But if the players in a 9-handed game fold around to the button, then that leaves only 3 players in the hand to see the flop. Are you saying that's not enough to qualify for the promo? Because I've never seen that policy anywhere else, and would be deemed absurd.

4 players dealt in. Very standard. Seems like a good promo for the players!

I think it is a creative intriguing idea you"ve hatched with this. I haven't heard of anyone doing anything quite like this before. I think I understand your thinking behind this, and I look forward to giving it a try soon.

Here's hoping you really do mean item #5 above, are prepared to follow through by refusing payment a time or two to show it, and that you've had a clear conversation with everone working the day shift to make sure they're uniformly on board withthis - especially a few who will really want to be "unable" and unaware if you know what I mean. If so, there WILL be more silent cheers than the angry response you will hear loudest and soonest.

If this is still going on in the beginnning of june, i will hit up at least 1 day from 2-7 for sure. I think I have the correct strategy to maximize this kind of promo. Of course, I will probably go and never get the aa.

As long as 4 players to start the hand is all. only have to have 2 at showdown...

Thanks. My hope is that it appeals to the NL players also...guess time will tell

I couldnt agree more. Yes, I have had those conversations and aslo a few at the tables. I think the players are aware #5 will be strictly enforced and the staff knows as well...I have never had a problem upsetting a few sneaks for the greater good of the room
