Even then, "they" don't want you selling chips at the table. Encore even got rid of the chip runners when they raised the rake. "Creating jobs" yeah, sure. And the one floor that gets stuck running the cage goes on break what feels like 25% of the time, meaning someone goes broke, and has to go downstairs to the only public cage in the casino, and stand in line for maybe 10 minutes to buy chips. The escalator going back up to the poker room was broken down last week, for real. People - after waiting two hours to get in the game - had to detour around half the casino just to rebuy. Who ever heard of such a thing?
But, I swung by Foxwoods for the first time since Encore opened this weekend, and while I managed have enough time on my hands to dust off a buy-in at 2/5, there was a guy just dumping money on the table. I'd forgotten such a thing was possible. Cash plays? Yes please. I wouldn't change a thing.
Ya there’s definitely a convenience factor…
It’s just annoying bc You can’t tell how much people have and then one guy got mad when I wanted to see his chip stack and he angrily blurted out “you have me covered”… I really didn’t like offending my customer like that but I also need to know how much people are behind or I can’t play correctly.
So the problem I have is just not knowing how much people have behind. Cash makes it easier for people like this to angle calls that they wouldn’t normally get.
In a game of deception.. having another level of deception seems annoying.
But you are right when someone’s dumping or in need of chips it’s nice that cash plays. But you can also just sell the chips from the tray.
Idk like everything else there’s positives and negatives.
Also if you’re at encore or fw you should probably buy reload chips when you get your original chips as to not have to wait in line again.
