Giving things away for free the way the Venetian did when they were getting the 40/80 game going doesn't seem to work.

My understanding was that the room was not managed so well and the dealers were pretty lousy.

I still believe that actually running the room well and catering to the players (lose the Bellagio-floor attitude) including hiring competent floor and dealers would be huge.


Here's a crazy set-up:

Why not just make the 30/60 tables no-rake for a month or two?
Or perhaps just an insanely low time-charge like $2 or something.

And then after that make them no-rake at 5 players or less to make sure you are still getting the games started.

you need to get the 30/60 players to walk in there in the first place if you're ever going to get them to play there consistently.

This 1 or 2 month promotion is crucial.
Have competent floor and dealers working these games. You are trying to win these players over FULL TIME.

Venetian got players in the door but they just kept having problems from what I read on here.

You don't want rookie dealers because that annoys players.
You don't want rude staff because your customers will decide that if they want to get treated like that they can just stay at the Bellagio.

Welcome staff and good dealers and practically free games for a month or two.


Am I re-hired? Does this have a shot in hell perhaps with a little tweaking?
