Foxwoods Resort·Casino (Mashantucket, CT) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.09.16 - Page 837 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I checked my "Choice Benefits" tab this morning just because I was clicking around my Foxwoods account, and it looks like I have the option of taking 75 rewards points instead of the bonus slot play or free bet for March. I know people who were having their rewards split up into 3 distributions were getting the option to take rewards points, but this is the first I've heard of someone being given the option to take their entire choice benefit as rewards points in one lump amount.

I'll still probably take the slot play, though.

Has anybody chosen the point accelerator and played something other than poker? I'd like to know if the tier credits get accelerated along with the reward points. It doesn't apply to poker so it's unlikely any of you would've chosen it over the slot play, but figured I'd ask.

All kiosks above the poker room have been out of service since 2pm today. When I told players club they said they were aware and on it. 3 hours later they are still all down with nobody in sight. Usually it's a few of them which is bad enough but cmon Foxwoods get your stuff together.

Yes only at 5/10 NL. Would be good to see at the 2/5 PLO games (since that's basically the highest that regularly runs) and I think having it spread throughout would help games.

Running it twice will just slow the game down. Do not want

Probably a stupid question but...

Does anybody know how far in advance Foxwoods announces their tournament series? I want to try to play one big tourney this summer, and will need to know when they run it in order to get days off of work etc

Always nice to have Foxwoods reps on the board. When I have to leave at a specific time to be somewhere no I don't walk to another casino looking for a kiosk that may or may not be functioning properly. When Everett opens they really need to step up their game or else wow!

Can someone let me know how many tier credits an hour this would be for 1/2 NL? Thanks.

RIT is also allowed at 5/5 PLO.
2/5 PLO now runs every day, sometime 2-3 tables. 5/5 less often, but not uncommonly..
Buyins for 2/5 PLO are now $200-$1000 (up from $200- $500).

Well, you're in Vegas. A bit far for a hug.

Except for the Monday Madness next week, are there no HH promos this month? There is nothing on Bravo, the Tue/Thur/Fri/Sat listed says February.

I left to go to Mohegan Sun. Was waiting for 60 minutes as the 1/2 list swelled from 120 to 190 without a new game being called and 2/5 went from 53 to 95 as only a couple new names were called to replace bustouts also without a new game called.

No dealers over 30 vacant tables. Awful.
