I asked the general manager of the Oaks about this about a year ago. He told me that he and the GMs of other Bay Area card rooms have communicated about this, and they've collectively agreed to stay off Bravo. From management's perspective, they don't want customers not coming in because their preferred game isn't going; they want customers to come in and then play in the games that are going once they're here.
He didn't say this part, but I presume that if one Bay Area card room got on Bravo, that would force the others to follow suit. Whereas if none of them are on it, it's not as big a deal. (Yes, Graton Casino is in the Bay Area, but it's farther from San Francisco than the Oaks, GC, AJ's, LC, Bay, Matrix, and a few others. So its player pool doesn't overlap as much as theirs do.)
What I want to know is (1) When is the Oaks going to retire its ancient white board and get a digitally displayed sign-up board? (2) When is the Oaks going to get some kind of player loyalty card, with comped food and drinks based on accrued hours of play? And (3) When is the Oaks going to install phone-charging plugs at each seat?
Embrace technology, guys. You've been around since the horse-and-buggy era, but the world has changed.
