It has been a while since i Have talked to anyone for the WPT about this. I know the original WPT casinos got a bad deal because they signed before the poker boom.
I have been involved in some higher buyin tournaments, but I don't really see them making sense in Colorado. The most you can charge is $500 (including the rake for the casino), you cannot have them across properties (if you have a poker tournament played on more than one property you cannot take any juice from it). The hotel space isn't here and we can't spread any side games with more than a $5 bet. There also is no sports book and limited pit games to capture extra revenue.
