Just a suggestion. If anything, raise the qualifying losing hand for the mini BBJ to quad 2s not Aces Full.
With a 52 table room you think at a point you would see the BBJ rise to $200,000 or so but I feel the mini bad beats prevent that.
I disagree.
There will be a day where MDL needs to get creative with promotions, maybe concentrate on creating a high BBJ, but that day is not today and is probably years away. They have no problem getting people in the door and won't have any problems for some time. The goal right now should be to sustain the player pool. And that's what the smaller promotions do.
If you have many people winning a few hundred here and a thousand there, they're going to gamble with that few hundred and thousand. No one is going to win $1000 and say, "wow I should put this in savings." All of that money gets gambled again and spread around to other players. But when you have only a handful of people winning five figures, that's when money leaves the player pool. If a guy wins $40k he's not going to gamble it all away. We'd be lucky to see $5k of it come back into the player pool.
Smaller promotions are best right now for the players and the casino.
