Played Saturday.
At 4 pm the 1/2 list was only six people long, although it got much longer pretty quickly after that. My table kind of sucked for a long time, then got ok, then about midnight went nuts and for about 4.5 hours after that average pot sizes never dipped below 100 bucks and topped out around 180 bucks a hand for a while. Table averages stayed high even after 2800 dollars walked away from the table in about a fifteen minute span. Fun table, though I ended up down seven dollars and seventy five cents which feels horrible considering how much money was flowing so loosely around the table. (To make up for it, I made 20 bucks on slots with the ten dollars of free slot play coupons harrah's sent me, brag brag).
Odd software problem was occuring however. Periodically, every single table would, at the same time, slow to a crawl, the hand in progress at each table would take 3-6 minutes to play and then the software would return to normal. Happened about 5 times during the 14 hours I played. I think I therefore pulled off what is likely the first string bet in the history of Poker Pro tables. We hit a one of those slow down hands when I had AA. I popped to 10 dollars, hit confirm bet. Wait...Wait....Wait.... Wait.... about 90 seconds later a single five dollar chip slid out onto the table. Wait ... Wait ... Wait ... Wait.... About sixty seconds after the first chip, a second five dollar chip slides onto the table. Nobody called me on the string bet though
In the good news category, alcohol has been approved for service at the casino. In the bad news category it's going to be another month and a half to three months before it actually starts flowing. In the further bad news category, they're going to charge the players for alcoholic drinks.
As an aside, you really have to make a major pig of yourself (or at least I do) at the prime rib buffet to get the food in ya in the thirty minutes you have before they give your seat away, if you take a break.
