Pro, can you weigh in on why either of the Canadian casinos would be a better place to play than Seneca?
At both FV and Niagara they have so many rules....no straddle, no electronic devices anywhere in room (stepping away from table isn't good enough you have to leave poker room to check your phone), 80%+ of the dealers are bad....slow, they make mistakes, they might only deal poker a few days a month. You get no comps other then free parking....playing just poker you will never get a free meal. The waits can be very long....sometime 3-4 hours on a weekend, they don't schedule extra dealers for something like say Easter Monday yesterday where more people are off work and its fair to assume it will be busier then most Mondays. And if 1 dealer calls in sick it messes up everything. Doesn't matter if they have a list of 50 people if the next dealer isn't in until say 4pm they won't open more tables.
As I said the action is better, the games are bigger and overall I think the player pool is worse. At 2/5 and bigger games you play session which I perfer to rake it just went up $1 per half hour so now 2/5 is $7, 5/10 is $8, etc.
Seneca usally only runs 1 or 2 2/5 tables and you can smoke in the hall outside the poker room (in Canada no smoking in casinos) it sometimes can be a bit smokey.
At Seneca you can listen to music, straddle, you get good comps, the dealers are much better, they will spread just about any game you want if you get 8 players, they will run limit, omaha, mixed, etc. If they have a list of they open a table (what a concept!).
Also worth stating that I have played 1000's of hours at FV and outside of a few good supervisors (Matt is the best) they don't make you feel welcome at all. I don't like to continue to return to a service in which they don't value me as a customer. I have played much less at Seneca and everytime I go they treat me like a valued customer.
