I think with younger people playing poker these days it is less of an issues, but on Mon night while they were reviewing a play at the very end of the football game (at the time it showed 1 second remaining on the game clock) I was called over to a table because one of the players would like the players that were watching the game to be quiet.

I hope you told him that where the library was.

I guess this is mostly correct. But at the Horseshoe-tunica for example there are many BJ players who whine and complain a LOT if their table is too near the band on a night when they are particularly loud.
Obviously they have some options to try to get further away from the band if it bothers them that much.

I remember playing in a casino in the NE that I eventually worked at and absolutely LOVED being near the band. (Bj/Craps). The main reason besides being able to psuedo dance in my chair, without being alcohol induced as they didn't serve, was that I didn't have to hear some schmuck douche telling me what I should and shouldn't do with my $10 bets and how to play my cards.

Band = Casino +EV. Karaoke = Casino -EV

Horseshoe-Tunica's old poker-room was right next to the bar where the band would play every night. Pretty loud sometimes even though they were directed towards the main-floor.

Some players complained but I rather liked it. Thought it kept the players more lively and a bit more awake. I get kind of annoyed at players who sit there falling asleep at the table practically drooling and/or snoring and the band kind of helped the degenerates fight the sleepies a bit better.

Obviously there were occasional probs with hearing the other players but I don't think this was as much of an issue back in the days when I don't think they even spread any cash-game NL.

Not nearly as annoying as overpoweringly bad karaoke I suspect.

Then there were a couple times I played BJ at Sam's Town Tunica kind of near their little bar area. They would try to make it an attraction on Thurs or Fri evenings or something and would bring in a DJ to play music for old-people to dance to.
But they would neglect to turn-off the music over the casino floor. So I was sitting there playing BJ with this rather annoying mix of 2 different songs at roughly the same volume from where I was sitting.
Basically listening to Bill Joel and the Beach Boys at the same freaking time. Really annoying.

Karaoke translated: Combining people who shouldn't sing with people who shouldn't drink.

TT,

No offense, but there is no way this comment is bigoted. That's kind of a big conclusion to jump to, no?
