Probably many brick and mortar books besides TS in the area/state.
I thought CET was the only sports book approved in AZ. They're a huge pain to deal with. Nobody can tell me how to deposit money short of going to the friggin stadium in Phoenix.

Arizona plays ASU in Tempe on Saturday afternoon this weekend, then no game until bowl (the can’t get to pac12 title the following weekend)
Wrong. Arizona can get to the PAC12 championship game if Oregon loses Friday and Arizona wins Saturday. Which I don't understand, I thought Oregon is in the north and it was north champ vs south champ.

It's amazing in college football the difference a good coach makes. Two years ago we had 1 win, this year we're going to a bowl game, beat 4 ranked teams, lost to Washington by 1 TD, went 3 overtimes with USC, and are ranked themselves.

I think Pig was more interested in a Vegas-style book - lots of TVs, places to sit, drink service, etc.

But far be it from me to know what a Wildcat might be thinking. Go Devils!
Exactly. It's on ESPN so I can watch it at home. I was thinking I could go to TS (since my Vegas plans fell through), play a little poker, go to watch the game on tv because there won't be sound in the poker room, then maybe go back for more poker after.

Actually I'm not a Wildcat (the school itself sucks) just a sports fan.

So no big tv area like in Vegas at the TS book? I'm not making a bet, I've sworn that off.

That seems like Late Winter or Early Spring.

Picture of new room. Saw a dealer say it will be open on February 8th, just a few days before Super Bowl.



Might as well post more of their propaganda:

Hopefully we get real plates again! I hope that giant glass wall faces the casino floor like the old room. That’s gonna be way better for brining in randos that would never have stumbled into the tent

I’m jealous. Curious what the rake is in the 2/3 games…?

Are the games still spread limit? Rake? Good action?

There are still limit games (3/6, 4/8, probably more) but there are also "true" NLHE games 2/3, 3/5 and higher. Rake exists, but it's been years since I've played a cash game there, not sure what it is exactly. There is also a jackpot drop of at least $1. Lots of games, so if the action isn't good at your table, request a change.

The spread limit question is from back when we didn't have true no limit.

The 2/3 game used to have a $300 max bet and the 3/5 and above used to have a $500 max bet. Those are gone.

I haven't played in years so I'm not the best source but since nobody is answering.

Very large mix of games. Many draw games, stud games, flop games, the whole gamut.

But the mix isn't fixed, determined by game starters, and can/will be tweaked for special players.

Floor has continued to refuse to run / start 5-5 plo, maybe that will change with the new room. Don't have high hopes as at no point has the management / floor given me vibes of anything but pure incompetence/laziness.

20/40 is always just 4 games: super stud 8 or better, big o, dramaha high, and double board 4 card Omaha - all are fixed limit. Technically you are allowed to start it with different games but there are a bunch of regs who just want to play these 4 so that's pretty much always what it is.

The 8/16 and 40/80 are full mix of whatever the people who start the game want to play. I assume the same is true of higher stakes. A typical mix would be something like the 4 in the 20/40 plus Archie, badaci, badugi, 2-7td, super razzdaci, and 2-7 dramaha.

New room opens Feb 8. I guess the Sports Bar is already operational based on FB user group posts.



Not my pics, sorry if that isn't allowed.
