Interesting.

From the tin foil hat department, I wonder if there is some underlying labor issue at play here.

Possible.... or maybe a lot of people hung over from New Years.... one is more likely than the other...

Has there been any progress on this (as well as tier credits) or is it dead for the time being?

There has been a small bit of progress. Hoping for good news in the coming weeks.

So," there are some underlying labor issue with dealers"

I personally dont find it a big deal to get my comps transferred, but i would place a high value on getting tier credits for play, and presumably helping my offers in vegas and/or the borgata or other mgm properties.

It’s amazing how CET and MGM continue to struggle to generate cash flow and the only solutions they can come up with is make their properties worse for the consumer/employees with resort/parking fees, poor gaming and employee layoffs.

Though most of the layoffs will be managers or higher, the company said some union jobs could also be eliminated.

I doubt that the layoffs include laying off dealers who are paid three dollars per hour by the casino.

You’re neglecting to consider the benefits package included.

MGM offers don't work on other properties. Gold at Borgata, have year round room offers at Borgata only, never received any complimentary room offers in Las Vegas or other cities. Gold does give me free parking, separate line at some restaurants at other properties. That's about it.

Unless National Harbor poker will be treated in a different and special way, you won't get any offers at other properties. As Gold, I don't get any perks at National Harbor. Same for a friend who's Platinum.

Not me... I like free food to much.

Having your comps cut in half.. Is not good, IMO.

A little late to the discussion here, but I also have had comps loaded to my card (at poker room) for Shake Shack, and on three separate occasions walked all the way down there to be told that my card has nothing on it.

As mentioned above, only choices then are pay cash out of pocket, or walk back to poker room, and then back to Shake Shack again.

When you get back to poker room, they never seem to know exactly what went wrong.

A little frustrating to say the least.

Despite the ridiculously slow cocktail servers over the last few weekends, the room continues to impress me. I saw a seat jumper pulled right off my table, I appreciate the effort to control that situation.

Furthermore it causes undue stress on your dealers because they have to enforce a rule no one likes or risk getting in trouble with the floor.

Multiple times I've been at a table that was having fun and the game was good and enforcement of this rule has been a downer.

My proposed solution would be to officially, but without making any public announcement, exclude 2/5 and up from the rule.

Love playing MGM and I hope if anyone agrees with me about this rule they will speak up!

I had this come up at a 1/3 table last weekend. I was really surprised since the other dealers that night didn't enforce this rule at my tables. I'm okay either way, I just want consistency.

Can two players talk during a hand if:

- Heads-up
- No exposing cards
- Talk is okay if it's not offensive in any way

I'm headed back up this weekend and I'd like to make sure I'm following the rules.

Thank you. I understand nobody is perfect, it came up during a 400+ bb pot which didn't make me too happy. Maybe I should have called floor, I just never had a dealer try to enforce that in the past. No worries.
