$6 a half rake and unknown comps considering they didn't have it set up properly in the system.

It should be $4/hr in comps because it's fully double the stakes of the 10-20 O8 game that gets $2/hr -- but most likely $3/hr because of that "15."

I think $6/hh time is the same as 5/10 NL, so I would guess it should get the same comp. Does any game at Borgata get $4/hour?

According to the first post in here 5/10 NL gets $2/hr. I think $3/hr is the max for poker.

The last time I went to Borgata I didn't play any cash games at all. I played 2 tournaments and no slots or pit games either. According to their website I earned a few comp dollars on my last trip. (2 weeks ago).

Are they comping for tourney play now or have I maybe completely forgotten degening it up a little on my last trip?

I checked the FAQ and couldn't find it so I'll add it to the comps section when I get a definitive answer to the following:

Just so that I don't screw with my average daily play, how does Borgata define a gaming day and are there different hours for gaming days for poker and pit games?

Staff advised me that, in regards to a poker room-based bonus comp dollars promotion (e.g., 40 bonus points for a minimum 50 hours played in a month), the promotion ends at midnight on the last day of that month.

That doesn't conflict with the 6am - 6am "casino time" used for average hours/day calc when determining room offers, so this is an FYI.

Thanks again for the responses. I updated the FAQ accordingly.

Do 10/20 O8 and 10/20 LHE go daily as of late? If so, what time(s) do they usually start up?

I know there is interest in RAZZ one of these days we will get it going, with a lot of STUD games coming to the Borgata, once the BBJ gets hit I know myself and one other 2/5 player wants to play RAZZ on Saturday so we could get the game going with a few other people interested.

10/20 o8 goes thurs fri sat sun
More often than not

10/20 lhe goes pretty much same days and likely more often than that.

I'm never tgere on mon-wed but both games play next to each other and when I'm playing Omaha there's always a lhe game.

They usually start between 9-11 am I'd say.

Thinking of coming down Sunday to play in the O/E tournament
How many runners do they usually get for these 1 day special events?
About what time do they usually end?

I don't play it, but I do play a lot of mixed games and I kinda know by experience, that, if you build it, it will come. Games like that can go for months on end then all of a sudden they just die out or it changes to 2/5 or w/e. Unfortunately, it's not the type of game/limit that's going to be a guarantee when you get there---you're best bet is to start an interest list and do some hustling to get it going.
