MGM National Harbor Resort & Casino (Oxon Hill, MD); FAQ in OP - Page 273 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Not uncommon at all, at least at MGMNH. The couple of times I tried the 5 card game last summer, at least three players were playing off the same bankroll.

And by same bankroll I mean the main player was handing his ATM card to the other players, they would take card, withdraw cash, come back and re-buyin.

is that bad for the rest of the players in the game by them playing from the same bankroll?

One central financier that will hire players to work on their behalf.

I wonder how long the degen tingles kick in for the poker players that spend every day in the poker room now that MGMNH is shutnow.

Some suggested projects for the room:

- Switching mens/women restroom
- Deep clean and follow-up procedures to maintain it
- Replace Snacks with a company that produces edible food or at least retrain the rude staff
- Discussion around server consistency

Will our comp dollars still expire after a year of no usage?

I miss some people, but don't miss gas costs and (for me) the 40-min-to-an-hour commute.

I don't know about global, but my Visa debit worked on Bovada/Ignition. You might just have to call your card and have them approval it over the phone for the 1st deposit as it can get blocked & flagged for fraud.

I haven't deposit in awhile, but when I did the 1st one was free and then they added a 6% fee for all future deposit after that which was ridiculous as ACR didn't charge any fees around the same time.

Yes. One of the many downsides to a pandemic.

Mlife sent out an email today saying all expirations for express comps were suspended through September 30th. Not sure if that would apply to poker or not.

I've been away for a bit. What is the issue with the bathrooms?

Out of curiosity. Has anyone who visited the casino come down with symptoms or tested positive?

There were so many people coughing when I played the last couple of days before the closure, I was sure someone would have it.

Can take up to 2 weeks to incubate. Best to stay cautious.

This week is going to be telling to see how bad it gets. Trump is itching to get things open next week, but I would imagine it’s at least another month until we can think about MGM opening back up.

He said he hopes to "reopen the economy" by Easter which is 19 days away. Will heavily depend on if we start to flatten the curve by then and there still might be initial state-wide bans on numbers of people per gathering when things re-open.

Those guys all live together so if one of them has it they probably all have it. They also table change frequently so without a doubt they spread the virus all around the poker room. I played with 2 of them earlier this month at 1/3 and exchanged chips with them. I'm over 50 years old but have not had any symptoms yet...
