Good information, and I'm glad to get the emails, but couldn't they be a bit more timely?

Please and thank you.

Usually they are - this may just be a one time issue.

Thanks.

+1 to this....I didn't get it until this evening....

The hotel appears to be sold out for this Friday.

Is there a special event going on this weekend?

Last year wasn't it still open on the weekends? Does anyone know exactly which months and days of the week it will be closed? Honestly boggles my mind why they would do this - it would make more sense to keep it open and close the older building.

I still have Water club rooms into November. Though still can't get near a Fri/Saturday comp. And my November ones are all over place. Probably has to do with my random hours put in the past month or so.

What's the min/max buy-in for the 5/10 NLHE? Does that game typically get off every day?

Stan,

Genesis Gaming, the provider of Bravo systems as you know, now has an app called BRAVO POKER. It is only currently for DROID phones but you know how quickly that changes. It basically taps into every Bravo using system and provides live game reports.

Sounds like a time saver for you. Currently few poker rooms are utilizing it. Any chance the Borgata may be using it in the near future?

It also provides distances telling you how far you are from each poker room. I discovered I am 979 miles from the Borgata, which made me sad. But I will be back in two weeks.

Be well

My comps got taken away for all weekends up to december in regular rooms let alone water tower! I try to get down there 1-2 times a month so I'm suprised this happened.

Maybe its because I forgot to clock in my last two times but I am definately going full force!

meh what can you do? still love the borg and ill keep going down seeing if my winning smile can get me a room.

TRANSLATION: Stan I need your help more than ever! :-)))

I think one of the reasons they switched over to the bravo system is rampant comp cheating. For one, people who stop playing for the day can wait a few hours before clocking out, and there were people who didn't play that straight up cheated the system. (Get put in for a game, then leave right after they swipe you in, then come back at night to clock out). I never bothered to do it, but I personally know people who did it.. a lot!
