I heard it is due to open early August. Anyone planning on checking it out? Suppposedly the WPT folks are running the poker room?

[ChicagoJoe]

I plan on being there opening day. The poker room will have all electronic poker tables.

I really look forward to playing on the tables.I sent an Email asking about rake and what they are going to try to spread. 50 hands an hour sounds alot better than 32. also, you dont have to tip a computor. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Rake is 10% $5 max and at that rate 50 hands an hour that will bring in $250 an hour. If the game keeps going strong for 24 hours then that table will bring in $6000 for the casino. Times 19 tables Four Winds could make $114,00 the first day. Anybody playing the 2-4 limit game I wish them the best of luck.

How am I going to get my souvenir $1 chip?

I'm interested in trying out the electronic tables, but one of the things I like about playing live vs. online is using real cards and real chips.

But still, change is sometimes good, and there may be some advantages. No dealer tokes springs to mind immediately, as does more hands per hour.
