Re: What the smartest Vegas poker boss will do.
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] someone in Atlantic City should run an LA-style room. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] I was gonna post that exact statement. Borgata is huge like an LA room (85 tables), but they wouldn't shake things up like that. They've been pretty successful thus far, and won't make any changes. But, by 2012 there will be three new (Revel, Pinnacle, MGM) luxury casino/resorts in AC. If they have each have big (40 tables +) poker rooms, Borgata may be forced to make some changes. We'll see....

With so many struggling rooms no one wants to take a chance. You want to fill your room: good totally free food (ala Commerce/Wynn), small cap NL games, and pester the NJCC until they allow stradles, buying the button and chip runners doing fills/players checks. WTF we can't even play triple draw..it's freakin' illegal in a poker room!!!

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.
