Room Quality: 2 It's not a poker room, it's a cordoned off area upstairs on the 2nd floor of the casino. This is its biggest problem. They do announcements over the intercom but the lack of walk-by traffic is a significant issue. The felt is fine, they even had automatic shufflers that worked. The dealers were adequate but I did see some mistakes. The players were predictably bad. |
|
Competition: 4 Downtown means budget tourists who routinely buy in for fifty and a hundred bucks (their table max is 200) and don't mind losing it. Yeah, it's not really poker and there is a lot of short stack play, but if you're patient you'll get your money in good. |
|
Dealers: 3 They could be more authoritative but I understand they don't want to alienate newcomers. That said, they did at least try to explain to people that if you don't have a hand you can't talk or that even if you do have a hand you can't talk in multi-way pots. A few misdeals. |
|
Cocktails: 4 They were actually pretty quick given the corner location and the mixed drinks were not weak and watered down like at most casinos. |
|
Management: 4 They tried to promote the room and they announced the tourney a lot. The structure seemed mediocre, something like a fifty dollar buy in with a twenty dollar rebuy and twenty dollar add on. So basically 90 bucks for 2500 in chips and 20 minute rounds. |
|
Comps & Bonuses: 3 They had a bad beat jackpot, one dollar drop adn management said they would comp you a seven-dollar meal at the cafe if you had a card and played there a significany amount of time, probably 4-6 hours at their discretion. |
