Massachusetts to open casino. Poker room?

Are there any "state-owned" casinos in the US currently?

The City of Detroit owns a % of Motor City Casino, and possibly Greektown. I don't know precisely how much but I think it was around 25%.

Someone else administers it though. Competition is USUALLY a good thing.

There's a poker room in New Hampshire that just opened called Rockingham Park, 18+. I played there last night and it's one of my new favorite places. . .I might start going there instead of Foxwoods. They only offer 1/2 limit HE cash games, BUT they ran $150 sit-n-gos all night ($500 to winner). I went for three hours and won four of those sit-n-go's, so it wasn't too bad for three hours of work; definitely beats the drive to Foxwoods.

I call BS. There is no way you won 4 SNGs in 3 hours there. Even if you went 4-4, there's no way you could play 4 in that timeframe (and win them all).

There's guys on this forum that can attest to that and I'm hoping they see this thread.
The $150, six handed sit-n-gos only last, at most, 45 minutes. First one was over before the third level started (10 minute levels).

I'll be up there again this weekend if you feel like coming to play with me.

you can't beat SnG's with 18% juice even if your opponents are ultra retarted spew monkeys

Agreed...very soft competition for the SnG's. Rockingham is about 15 minutes from my house, so I've been going there instead of making the trip down to Foxwoods. There is a similar room over in Seabrook with the same structure for Limit and SnG's.

Reko,

I'll admit, I am not that familiar with RP. In fact, I was not aware they were spreading 6max SNGs, I thought all their SNGs were 10-handed.

I retract my BS call.

For those interested, here are the details on the games at RP:

I was about to bump this, but I guess I don't have to.

I think I'm going to try out Seabrook tonight (thanks to the above poster for making me aware), because apparently they offer Omaha and Stud, which Rockingham Park - despite the board being filled with names for interest - never lets come to fruition.
What I am wondering is if we get enough people to agree, if these places let us bump the limits up to maybe a 4/8 or 5/10 game or if it's against their rules and they can only offer 1/2. Does anyone know about the legitimacy of this or should I just make the drive to Foxwoods instead?

$1-2 is the biggest cash game allowed by NH law.

SNG's and MTT's are allowed for higher stakes, as long as 1/4 of the prize pool goes to charity.

(I've never played in NH, but I believe that this post is accurate.)
