Red Rock & Green Valley rake rises - Stations?

[mr giles]

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.

I played in the RR 8/16 2x, it was ridiculously slow compared to the Wynn game. I felt the dealers were the cause, they were too busy socializing and spent little time managing the game's pace. I think we had very different experiences, it wasn't worth my time investment to play there again.

And they only pay a miserable $20 for quads!

They have increased the max buyin to $100, but this remains the crappiest game in town, with their stupid 1:1:2 blinds.

Man, I played the 8-16 tonight and it was bitch-city all over the room. I heard probably 10 discussions about the rake. I am sure it is here to stay, as stations greed will overcome any player considerations, but people were not taking it well, verbally at least (we will see what their actions are).
