Congratulations! You just became the manager of a Vegas poker room!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

This thread is killing me...What? You all think rooms in Vegas haven't tried all of these tactics?

The ONLY way to get a 30/60 game going is to promote one heavily during the WSOP (or if your room has a week or two long event of their own) and HOPE that you have offered good enough service during that time to keep them afterwards.

There is NO way to draw them to your room during the slower times of the year. Free food, free rake, and 4.5 dollars an hour in comps were not enough to get the 20/40 game to leave the Mirage. Why? Because a player is not going to play a short handed game in hopes it fills when he KNOWS there is a full game down the road or across the street.

PLAYERS WILL ONLY GO WHERE THE ACTION IS...and that can't happen within the 1st 6 months of a room being open. Bottom line, offer good, well-run games of any limit with a smile and treat players with respect and, eventually, you will get the games without any "gimmicks".
