Re: Bad Beat Jackpot at Tropicana Atlantic City
 

Yeah, I'm real curious about the renovations. I wonder how many tables they'll keep ? I'm guessing around 30, give or take a few. I can't see them having the 43 or so that are there now.

The carnival atmosphere is about the last thing a bbjp will bring to a room. Excalibur's wheel brings a carnival atmosphere. Large bbjps bring in the tight, whiny, coffee/cigarette breath walkers who complain that a tourist (who foolishly came to play poker) is breathing their friggin' air. So the choice to not have a bbjp may be a good choice, but the reason quoted to you is purely bullpucky.

What would be good for the Tropicana Atlantic City...
 

Shuffling machines, higher stakes limit games, better beer, better booze, free parking, hotter waitresses, some interest from the floor in getting games going...

A Borgata dealer said the Borgata doesn't want a BBJ because it invites a 'carvinal atmosphere.' (I don't know how true this is). She did mention that Trop was going to start one.

I thought the Borgata DID have a BBJ? Or used to?

They never have, and they will be the last place to have one.

I don't have too much faith in the Trop's management. If they chose to, they could easily be the 3rd best room in AC by a MILE. The upgrades, etc. are a good thing, but they really need a lot of changes to be great again.

Other than the autoshufflers, I don't see any of those things happening after the renovations. They'll probably get some new carpeting, chairs, upgrade the tables, maybe an electronic wait list, etc.

I really hope that the Trop doesn't become like the majority of AC poker rooms and spread mainly 1/2 & 2/5 NL, with 1-2 tables of 2/4 & maybe a 3/6 game (woo hoo !). That would suck...
