Borgata Poker Room - Red Bull?

[PokerDonkey27]

I read somewhere that Red Bull was only available to those playing higher limit games. Can anyone confirm/deny this? I find it hard to believe that they would limit drinks based on game.

[Dima2000123]

Confirm.

This also goes for getting Fiji water.
This is correct but its kinda funny the way this happens. It is somewhat based on luck as well. Some examples.

During a big tournament i was seated in the high limit area so even though i was able to get red bull, yet when i moved tables to outside taht area i was not able to.

20/40 holdem during the week is in the high limit room but on the weekends its not. Yet when they spread the 20/40 stud game on the weekends that is in the high limit room.

You mean the casino only gives you Red Bull & certain brands of bottled water if you're playing what they consider 'high limits'?? What kinda bullsh*t is that??

Not exactly BS, it's been said over and over again- the casinos make very little from the poker rooms compared to the regular table games and especially the slots. I think the main reason they have the rooms is because they want you to come to the casino and also gamble.

shrug..casinos always give higher limit players perks, as far as I know, major casinos in practically every market have various incentives for HL poker players.

Just about every player in the high limit room at Borgata clocks in with a black card. They aren't getting that card playing poker OR low limit BJ, slots, etc.

The other night I was watching a short handed $2-$4 game in my room and commented to the floor that the game was loosing money for the casino.here was virtually no action and barely any rake. In the mean time the casino had to pay a dealer and all the players were drinking alot, so between the labor cost and beverage cost the casino was paying more than it was raking.okingly I proposed a system where everytime a player bet they got a ticket, and they could save up there tickets to buy drinks. Want water thats 1 ticket, want to get the ultra expensive water that tastes exactly like the cheap water anyway thats three tickets. Want to get ultra premium vodka, thats 10 tickets.
