Guys ... just got back from Dania where I had a spirited chat with Dorothy, one of the floorpeople in their card room. She was emphatic that they will offer a NL$100 cash game with NO TIME CHARGE. They expect to have the same rake they've been playing, which is a max $5 rake based on the size of the pot. They'll probably also have a $1 jackpot drop, but I didn't get into that.

As for the games, the only one that they're doing for sure is NL$100. We did not discuss other games, but expect a lot of 2/4, 1-5 and 5/5 games, and that room likes to cater to the customer, so they'll spread any game at those levels.

The floorpeople were much nicer than usual and the dealers seem anxious for the changeover. One of them said that the owners of Dania Jai Alai (I think it's Boyd, not sure) plan on sinking a lot of money into promoting their card room.

Just for kicks, I called Pompano Park (now Isle of Capri) to see what they were going to do, and they said the exact same thing.

So, I would conclude that the rake will be just that, without a time charge, which is fan-fricking-tastic.

The only thing that could be better is if the Seminoles respond with a bigger NL ring game ... so far no word from them.
