Re: What the smartest Vegas poker boss will do.
I don't really think bad beat jackpots are good for the room since they are so rarely hit. I have spent a decent amount of time in poker rooms with alot of tables and I don't think I have ever seen one hit. I think these may work to bring in the regular locals but a tourist sees a super high number like that and knows he pretty much has a 0% chance of winning.
What does work I think is having high hand jackpots. Make them small, a few hundred or so, and have a board that resets every 5 hours. Maybe pay the top three hands. I have seen quite a few tourists who were about to leave stay another 4 hours or so to see if their quads hold up for a couple hundred dollar prize.
