A dealer today told me that the Hard Rock won't even have poker. They'll use the space for table games (no roulette or craps, just card games) and leave poker for the old Seminole Casino up the road.

You believe that?

I don't believe anything that a dealer or a floor manager or anyone says is going to happen because not even the governor or tribal leaders know. They're not even sure if it would be legal for the governor to strike a deal unilaterally without legislative action.

I posted that to make the point that there are a gazillion rumors flying around, practically none of them based in fact.

By the way, the deadline has been extended:

I spoke to a manager at the HR Hollywood and he said that once they get full casino games that they are going back to high-stakes poker games.

I don't think the State of Florida is looking to limit the Seminoles from having high stakes poker. The State is just trying to negotiate the highest cut they can get.

By the way, the time charge at the Hard Rock has killed poker action there. People are staying away in droves.

Time charge at which Hard Rock? The Hard Rock in Tampa has no time charge at all. Just a normal rake. And people aren't staying away at all.

soulvamp? Any comment? Seems to me they either do or they don't!

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I have no idea what it is you want me to comment on.

Hard Rock Hollywood instituted a time rake for no-limit holdem, and people this past weekend chose to go to other rooms instead of the Hard Rock, which has been unusually slow for a few days. I don't know anything about the Hard Rock in Tampa.

I don't pay a time charge because I don't play no-limit holdem.

There are a million rumors flying around about what's going to happen with Class III gambling and poker at the Seminole casinos in the state, but the fact is no one has any clue what is going to happen.
