Detroit permanent casinos and poker

[damaniac]

Is there any information available as to whether all 3 permanent casinos will have poker? The size of the rooms? Also, I heard somewhere that they would start raking pots in NL rather than taking the absurd $6/half hour time buys. No reason why this would be credible, I just heard it from someone. Does anyone know any more about this?

I dream of the day they start raking NL pots instead of time charge

Currently only Motor City and greektown have poer rooms. Both rooms have about 15-20 tables. Greektown still collects time, but in the 1/2 NL game Motor City is now collecting rake (not sure how much)as far as I know. I hope this is helpful.

10% up to $6. I doubt they'll ever stop taking a time charge at the bigger games.

how are the NL cash games at the detroit casinos? is the player getting tougher? i have not played in detroit in over a year.

Depends on what stakes. But overall its fairly safe to assume there a few competent players, a few avg players, and a few bad players.

90% of players in those 200-400 nl max games, will be long term losers, based upon the $6.00 per half hour "time collection".

I think you might be confusing a few games. Both casinos have a $200 max game, but Greektown is the only one that takes the time charge ($6/half). MC is now a rake. MC also has a $200-$500, $2-5 game which takes $7/half. Lately I haven't been too impressed with the action. I'm starting to wonder how long it will last?
