Just ask the dealer and you get the voucher?

Ask the floor for a food comp. I've never been turned down.

More than likely moving to Dallas soon, so I'm guessing this will be my regular weekly haunt. How are the $1/$2 NL games? Rake? Buyin? What about tournaments?

[MrBrightside]

I haven't been down to winstar yet, but I plan on going soon. The riverwind (south of Norman, OK), definitely has them and I like them. You don't really realize what they do to speed up the game until the one at your table breaks down.

1/2 games can be pretty good, but it's very table dependent. do everything you can to not start a table, b/c they're usually very bad.

rake is 10% up to 5-max plus a $1 BBJ drop that is taken before the dealer deals(i.e. if you chopped it, the sb gets nothing and the bb gets his 2 back).

tournaments run daily or almost daily i think ranging from about 60-100. they are pretty much pushfests after the first couple of levels(3k chips, 20 min levels, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200 and skyrocketing after that). they run a slightly better, higher buy-in tourney at least once a month usually.

I hesitate to drive up there b/c I've heard the waiting lists can be insane.

2. taco casa.

i don't know why it's taken me this long to post this, but next time you go to winstar, stop at taco casa (exit california st 496b i believe). it has a orange and yellow sign, and you can see it from the freeway (east side).

the chiladas and taco lights(not diet, just made w/a fried flour tortilla) are freaking amazing. it is hands-down, my favorite fast-food mexican food, and i wanted to make sure all my fellow 2+2ers can benefit. their sweet tea is really good too if you're into that (any size=$.59).



you're welcome

Taco Casa is awesome. I miss that place so much. The soft drink ice is worth the side trip but the place was always a must stop on my frequent DFW to OKC trips. Actually, I had to work in Gainesville on occasion and I would always make it a point to stop in on those trips as well.

I would imagine it's gotten a lot better since they switched to the new room, but I haven't been up there in a while so I can't say for sure.

Even in the old room/showplace combo setting, I don't ever remember waiting a ridiculous amount of time. Maybe 45-hour tops.

Also, rage is 100% correct about Taco Casa being the best thing ever. Taco lites and sweet tea FTW.

i've never had to wait more than about 20 mins for a 2/5 game(not counting the grand opening day).

Wait is greatly reduced in the new room.
