I played at the table when they first opened it, and it was pretty soft. Maybe a third of the table knew how to play, a third would call down multi-way with raises with bottom pair, and a third literally didn't understand how limit worked and had to be coached on betting amounts and buy-ins.
This may have been because there were long lines at every other game, and when the game got announced some people decided to just test the waters. The floor must have broken a table to create the 10-20 once they got 9 on the list, which was really nice of him - early on they told us they were not planning to break any tables, but would set the 10-20 up only if somehow a table magically broke on its own (with 20+ lists on 1-2, 2-5, 2-4, and 3-6, I can't see how that would have happened). I imagine the game will get harder to beat over time as the room settles down.

Agree with the above.
In the 2.5 hours I was playing, I saw dealers misscount or just plain miss chips sitting on those logos on numerous occasions. Players needs to protect themselves from unscrupulous villians, who will take their chips back if they don't get swept, feigning that they thought they were change or whatever.
Add that the stupid bell ringing at 100 decibels every 20 minutes (to announce a new horserace starting) got to be a bit of an annoyance.
