I like windows, but we won't have them in the poker room. I love Starbucks....

Ecomps would be convenient, but at least the comps don't have to be prefixed values (like $10, $15, etc.)

Thanks for all your answers, Johnny.

Hey, this is a really minor thing, but is there any chance the room could have a few adapters for charging phones that aren't standard USB? My phone is a USB type C. It would be awesome if I could borrow an adapter to charge it (and maybe pay a deposit to ensure I return it).

It would be nice to have a supervisor walk new players to the tables too. In other MD casinos players walk through the poker room and as soon as someone leaves they sit down even though there are a lot of people on the list before them. Dealers should not allow anyone join the table who is not accompanied by a supervisor. I think this is how it is done in Vegas as well.

39 tables seems on the small side, is there going to be a separate room for tournaments? If not I'm guessing there won't be tournaments on weekends due to lack of room am I right?

There will be tournaments. They will run daily, and buy in sizing will be dictated by demand and open table space projections.

Seniority.

Hmmm, how does this work, given player and dealer turnovers at the table? Seems to me this could lead to disagreements over who was there first. And what about new games, where everyone sits at the same time? Who determines "seniority"? Wouldn't a seat change button make this simpler? Just my two cents.

Also, what are the min/max buy-ins for 4-8 LHE, and the jackpot structure for that game please? Thanks so much for the info!

+2. Smart solution. Eliminates line jumping and reduces confusion in a loud room.

Hope you don't run out of seat cards - lost/damaged cards & such...

Thanks!

Seat change buttons can work, but what happens when everyone in a new game requests a seat change button.... same dilemma....

Kill games will have a slightly higher buy-in (10X the small bet of the limit at the kill)
Example: A 10/20 Half Kill Game would be a 15/30 game on Kill pots. 10X small bet would be 10X$15, or $150.

Jackpot is 4 Sevens or Better Beaten by a bigger hand. Both cards must play. Kicker must tie or beat the board.

40% to the hand loser, 20% to the hand winner, remaining 40% is split among anyone else dealt in to the hand.

Thanks!

Ordered multiple identical sets. They will be labeled with just a table number to eliminate confusion on seat change from players already at the table. Manufactured on property, so we have an unlimited supply. Line jumping was the primary driver for using these. If they don't work well, we will try another solution.

So, just a jackpot, singular? No mega and mini with different qualifiers per Md Live?

But does this mean that if George has been at the table the longest he gets first shot at a seat move, even if he has moved the last three times?

Nope. If he moves, Bravo will show that he has moved. Time since last move is the number.

Correct. This may be modified or changed at some point, but for opening, we will be sticking with a single jackpot.

Thanks much!

Just reposting a prior question whilst Johnny appears to be online.
