Red Rock & Green Valley rake rises - Stations?

I'm predicting we will see the $2 jackpot drop hit Vegas within a year.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see "weekday rake" and "weekend rake".

Both of these exist in markets outside of Vegas. The $2 jackpot drop exists within 90 miles of Vegas.

Luxor has it now. 1 on 10, 1 on 20.

This really really sucks. I love the Red Rock room. The 8-16 has been really juicy lately as well. And I get in maybe 5 hands/hour more compared to the Wynn because the limit players play so fast (and the dealers are great). Oh well.

Do most players even know what a rake is at 3/6 or 4/8? I'll bet if you asked a random table that more than half would not even have a clue.

They don't. I was playing in 4/8 at Mandalay and table got down to 5 handed, so I asked for a rake reduction. Floor said we could get rake reduced, but they would also have to take out jackpot - so 2$-3$ less taken out per hand, but the table wouldn't go for it because they wanted to be eligible for the crappy high hand jackpot.

this has happened to me many many times in casinos and every time it happened it would make me so angry id also get myself barred. sure wish casinos would get rid of jackpots, but they wont cause the dealers love it too much, because all they think about is their goddamn tips.

Get off the soap box. You have zero clue why jackpots are in place and I'll give you a hint: It's not because of the dealers. This isn't a tipping thread, don't turn it into one. Please head over to OOC and let them know what you're thoughts about dealers and tipping are.

I think the players at RR are more likely to notice the difference in the low limit games than the players at a strip based room. But I also doubt it will affect RR in the long run.
