The CPU is so awful. Playing versus a friend would be what would make this a great addition to the poker room.

You would prefer playing against a friend and paying lots of rake to the house to playing against a computer you think is awful, with no rake?

Have you even seen these machines? The machines don't rake. It is a heads up machine. One or two people can sit. When two people sit it is two humans that play each other. When you sit by yourself you play the computer.

I find it hard to believe that any casino would offer a machine with an option for two people to play while the house makes no money, taking away the chance for the house to make money with the machine. I suppose it is possible, but I believe it would be unprecidented.

Saw Michael Phelps at the borgs poker room today. Only at a poker table are you going to hear that he is just ok at swimming. Looked like he was playing a big game but not sure what it was.

They have them at arcades like Dave and Buster's. They could charge $1 like they do at the arcades if they really wanted to make something.

A guy who was at his 2/5 table told me that when Phelps sat down he demanded the table be 9 handed instead of 10. So floor made it 9 handed.

I believe you were talking about credit lines:

here is the application:

https://www.theborgata.com/play/borg...it-application

I haven't applied for one yet, but I asked at the poker room cage and they told me I would not be able to obtain markers in the poker room, but I could go to the main cage or to a regular table to get a marker and chips.

Stan - great time down there this past week. Looking for return trips in Sept.

How busy should Labor Day weekend be? I might make a Sunday trip there.
