foxwoods running promotions for the poker room? OMG
 

I received a flier on the mail today from FW saying they are giving double comps for play at the poker tables during weekdays. They have also recently added a player apreciation drawing once a month for playing at the tables.

I find this all interesting because of the fact mohegan will have a room in the near future and the rumors of massachsetts casios.

All the years I have played at FW they have never done much of anything for poker players.

They have also been constant radio spots on the local sports radio station w/ vince van pattan and mike sexton.

was wondering if anyone in the know knew what all this was about if anything

ps. Im not complaining in anyway here just thought this was interesting.

You are salvitating at the jaws, because you were thrown a bone, Harrah's has conditioned you not to expect. That's right, I wrote H-A-R-R-A-H-S. Yes. I know they don't own Foxwoods. Some joints, will toss a few bones, to stay on the fringes of the "Harrah's Behemoth" empire.

Foxwoods finally does something for its players as Mohegan's room opening rapidly approaches.

Now if only they'd stop pooling dealer tips.

Does anyone have an ETA of when Mohegan is supposed to open the Card Room? Would save 1/2 hour on my damn trip up from NY.....Could even be a longer trip depending on the traffic route 2

here's my suggestions for foxwoods promotions:

- Employees won't be as*holes day. I'd suggest the fifth friday of the month.

- Four Cashiers at the Cage Day. Alternatively, they promise to have one cashier at the cage for every 400 players in the room. This one is probably impossible.

the word on mohegan has been feb-apr 2008.

it will be nice to have an option....

Hope the games there will be as soft as foxwoods. How far time wise is mohegan from foxwoods? never been there cause of their lack of poker.

As a Foxwoods regular, I hope so too. But if everyone from Foxwoods tries to go over there, the wait times will be worse there than at FW. Mohegan is only opening a 45-table room.

15 min or so. Don't speed in between, very costly.
