THANK YOU! I should have brought this point up, but my brain is only at half speed today.
You make a very good point. IF MC is going to take market back, NOW is the time to do it. Step up their game and get it done.
That could very easily be accomplished....lower rake, get promotions going (especially a tie in with sports book?), bring food back & improve it. Get the main room remodeled a bit, spiff it up a little.
Maybe turn the overflow room into a "high roller" area? cordon it off, put in better chairs & tables? Then turn the "overflow" area on the main floor into a tournament area & super overflow area.
Any casino that scoffs at poker players is foolish! I was talking to a few players that next to me through the night, these guys were absolute degens on the sports betting parlays. THAT is exactly the type of customer the casino wants. I was shocked at how bad the payoffs were on the parlays.
