That is correct. He was in NOLA and now he is in BMore. When I played at the circuit event in NOLA I asked who ran the room and they said it was Patrick Chan. I was there a month ago and ask if that guy was still there and was told by a floor man that he went to BMore.

I always enjoyed the room in Nola but logged very few hours. Did they have similar issues like we're having now?

I've only played there a couple times, but they had way fewer tables than they should have there given the population and money in New Orleans, and horrible dealer procedures - lots of the dealers always had their hands in the pot, and one dealer snuck a look at a mucked hand after a non-reg made a big bet that went uncalled, then met the player who folded (a reg) away from the table after he got pushed. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I assume he was telling him what the other guy had.

They also don't treat poker players well at all with comps, if I recall correctly. I believe it's 0 reward credits and 0 tier credits there.

Great....

I talked to a dealer who told the table that the new guy had security follow the food waitress due to time complaints. Sounds like they found they spend all their time standing in line downstairs not shamming. So I guess they arnt getting fired and maybe they are looking for a better method?

MDL was fairly quiet last night. Two tournaments going on + around 20 tables of cash. No promos going on there until after the WPT.

Haha. 2 WPT tourneys (3 actually) and 20 cash tables on a Monday night is 'fairly quiet.'

Possibly old news, haven't kept up well of late on the thread but - last time I was there got verbal confirmation from one of the dealers that Anthony is out or on the way out. My understanding is the family issues have been too much of a distraction (I think medical? dunno and not my business really).

But if it is medical, having been a literal year from hell myself during which both my own father and my mother-in-law dwindled due to cancer, I want to extend the best wishes possible to Anthony and thanks for his work on the room, and hope that a suitable replacement NOT FROM TABLE GAMES but an actual poker person is found soon.

That would be nice, but my guess is HB won't make that kind of time and money investment into poker with another big room coming into the market at the end of the year.

Read the FAQ and tried a quick search to no avail, please chime in if you can confirm that poker play here still earns 50 tier credits per hour! I see it is no longer mentioned on Bravo.

And does anyone happen to know how many tier credits I can earn here per $1 coin in on video poker? Best pay table on $1 or $5 JoB? Cheers

Sounded like he was talking about video poker. That is certainly not 17tc per hour. It's based on coin-in.

17tc is correct for the poker room though ...

You may be confusing Tier Credits (status) and Rewards Credits ($). Based on the original quote, it looks like the multiplier is only for Tier Credits, which is typical.

10x TC Multiplier certainly is decent, as the math would put you at diamond status in less than 100 hours of poker.

I have never heard of a Tier credit multiplier at Horseshoe and ive been there since day 1.
it's always been RC.
170 tc/hr at poker. you must be trolling!

and what cuserounder said a few posts up.

I miss the old $3/hr comp rate.
and with mgm coming, I see the poker room going the way of Hollywood casino's poker room in Charles town.
barely alive, on life support.

The multiplier for Ravens games is for Rewards Credits aka food or whatever. Not Tier Credits aka diamond card/ seven stars.

I'm not sure how much you get an hour now. It used to be $3 but I'm pretty sure it's a decent amount less now.

Basically what AA Suited said.

I thought it dropped to 1$ an hour. So if the 10x makes it 10$ an hour, then it sounds like a decent promo imo.

I do plan on jumping ship to MGM but have a Vegas trip planned with Harrahs properties. So I plan to burn through all my comp points instead of letting thrm all expire. Therefore, I'm now a ravens fan.

Still unclear on the promo though. What gets 10x? The day? The hour after the game? Dunno

There's usually a ton of misunderstanding on this, so here's the breakdown for poker.

You get $1/hr in reward credits, which is 100 RC/hr. You get 17 tier credits/hr.

There has never been, and I assume never will be, a tier credit multiplier. Sometimes they give you bonus tier credits for a 3-month period based on how much you earn, or whatever, but they never just multiply them with their day-to-day promos.

When they do a "comp multiplier," they are giving you extra REWARD credits, but they are basing it on earned TIER credits, then converting them over. So a 10x comp multiplier takes the 17 tier credits you earn per hour, multiplies that by 10, and flips it to reward credits. 17 x 10 = 170. 170 RC = $1.70. So during the 10x bonus, you would earn 17 tier credits/hr, $1 RC/hr, and an extra $1.70 worth of RC/hr, for a total of 17 tier credits/hr and $2.70 in reward credits per hour.

To convert reward credits to dollar value and vice versa, simply add/remove the dollar sign and the decimal point. 1 RC = 1 cent.

I really don't think that's how it works. When they used to have the multiplier days by swiping in. If I got a 5x RC multiplier, I was getting $5 per hour in RC from poker.

Either way, I'll stop in tomorrow and clarify.
