AC Casino Floor Situation

I'm re-dialing Borgata every 60 mins, but if others want to post if they get any info [i've got my stuff all packed], please do so, so I can start the hour-long drive ASAP : )

I heard on KYW 1060 this morning that the earliest the gaming would be back is 12 midnight...

I'm heading down toninght, hoping the 1000 tournament gets off tomorow morning.

I called the Borgata poker room two minutes ago but only got an answering machine.

AP says "the slot machines could be ringing by Friday night." The Legislature still has to enact yesterday's agreement.

Sounds like the casinos and Casino Control are preparing to jump the second they're allowed.

[BriMc]

the main operator doesn't know when they will open.

It says here that Corzine has to sign an executive order before they can reopen:

got an answering machine at the trop poker room.


I've been just calling the regular hotel operator lines (1-800) and asking if the casino floor is open yet.

now, are they just having dealers sit around? or is poker possibly going to be 12-24 hours after the slots open up?

I just called the Showboat and talked to a customer service person. They told me, for sure, that it will open sometime between 5 pm tonight (the 7th) and 5 am no later. I asked her if there was any chance it wouldn't open, or open earlier, and she said absolutely not. No earlier and for sure no later.


So, my guess is....like maybe Sunday?

[CCx]

most table games should come back very quickly after they are re-opened - would assume that slots would take a lot longer because there's so many of them

[Central Limit]

I would assume the poker will take the longest because you need other people to play and noone want to be the first one to get there.
