Yikes, that makes it a bit tougher. I got the mailer, and it simply says Earn $4 comp dollars. I suppose I'll have a discussion with someone when that happens.

Any ideas on the earnings for Video Poker (JoB) or regular slots?

Congrats ! Never been that fortunate but hope springs eternal.

Confirmed. No toaster for us

Will still head down a few times for no-requirement gift day. Cigars in the car beats cigars on the deck in January....

Did anybody get an offer for comped Shields-Havazin tickets this Friday and wanna go? https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxi...z114qrc3e3bxw4
Dinner and drinks before the fight on me. PM if interested.

Someone should inform the new
President that, well run,
The poker area at
#OceanCasino does quite well,
Before she closes the poker area

i had a guy down here in florida tell me he was from that area, and that the room was already closed now since he was there when the bad beat got hit. i looked on bravo to verify but yeah he was wrong, 2 tables were going. for whatever reasons, a lot of people dont like to go where only 1-2 games are going. but i would think if its true the rake is only $4+0 there that would get some people interested in sitting. of course isnt it only true the rake is plus 0 because theyre still giving out money and closing?

Any update on this? I keep hearing rumor it's still closing?

I played there this past weekend: Friday-Sunday. Two 1/2 NL tables and a 3rd table at peak times (either 1/2 or 2/5). Bravo was up-to-date.

Hearsay but every reg I asked said the room is closing February. Every dealer I ask didn't want to confirm but they did say they were being trained to deal blackjack FWIW.

As good a rumor as any, thanks!

without formally announcing they are closing,
At the end of the month, all the staff
Will be assigned to other duties,
Primarily to table games.

Thanks!

Thursday, January 30th,
may be the last day
Of poker at Ocean Casino.

:kicksrock:

I have a room booked for mid-February.

Maybe they are closing their "open-air" poker room and dedicating a new, bigger, closed space for a poker room?

We can dream, right?

Sure, but it doesn't square with distributing all the promotional funds. They could have just been used in the new room.

I'm not sure if the submissions dedicate the promotional collections are restricted to the payout toward poker alone, seems like the funds went out to the players in high hands and the bad beat, but there are other promos that might be else ware on the property not so obvious.....enjoy your free parking, remember the house must pay the state for this amenity.

Yesterday, was the last day
Of poker at Ocean.

So sad to hear.

Now we'll have to wait for the next rumor of it possibly reopening in a different part of the casino.

Yeah this is sad, really enjoyed this place. Might still come for an occasional gambool and some Distrito, but the poker room had a lot going for it.

gg it was fun

No it didn't, it was very poorly run. It was surrounded by loud slot machines, and the room just felt unappealing in my opinion. I've been to a lot of poker rooms, and this one just seemed disorganized. It catered to nits with there promos, and for how nice the property was, they could of had a pretty decent poker room. But where it was located was just awful.

Borgata has a nice poker room.
Parx has a nice poker room
Sugar house has a nice poker room.
Maryland live, MGM, ect -

The oceans property is really nice but the poker room attracted the wrong type of people IMO. Every time I went there it was just obnoxious drunks at night and grumpy nits during day which is fine, but I doubt any of these people spend any money at the casino and just cause problems. I took my friend there one time from out of town and even he said the place sucks. This guy doesn't play poker that often but we were staying at the borgata, and I asked if he wanted to check out another property. I figured there would of been good games at Oceans which there were (drunks spewing), but it wasn't worth it. Just stick to borgata.

This place could of had a nice poker room if they put it in a nice spot in the casino away form all the noise but meh.

All I know is they were the last Casino they gave me free rooms. Now I've got to go to Foxwoods to get a free room which is a bit of a hike. So I'll miss the place.

I don't really disagree with anything you say -- and to add another negative: The main floor guy was quite the curmudgeon. We walked up after having had a nice night of dining/drinking and pit gambling, and said we wanted to start a 3/6 limit game with two names at about 10:30pm on a Saturday, and he wouldn't even humor us and start a list. We went back to blackjack.

I think in terms of the room itself, we generally liked every dealer and every floor person other than the above. And I think the tradeoff with the slots/noise is the drunks spewing -- having it in the middle of a walking path between the theater, some of the restaurants, and the pits just made it so you'd get some walk-in traffic. The Borgata is only going to attract walk-ins from the sportsbook, maybe. I think the games at Ocean were significantly softer than the games at Borgata, and I think this is part of why.

The property overall is gorgeous and feels like better value in terms of food options. Having access to the beach/boardwalk is great, having natural light in a casino is really nifty, and just generally enjoyed the people I interacted with at either the poker or blackjack tables more at the Ocean.

Yeah, there was a cadre of grumpy old nits -- but I think that's any poker room, and it made it so there'd usually be a game or two going, and if a place isn't trying to compete with the Borgata in terms of size, I don't think there's really another way to keep games started/going than to have hours targets for the grumpy nits to hit.

I think "disorganized" is a good way to put it -- there's just a number of details that the Ocean isn't getting right throughout the property, not just poker, and that will probably put this place out of business (again) sooner than later. At the same time, I think it'd be healthy for the poker community if someplace besides the Borgata was a good place to play, and I had a lot of fun here despite the faults. Hopefully they get their act together and become that place?

If you’re getting free rooms from Foxwoods and not borgata you’re doing something wrong. Borg is way easier to get rooms from.

AC is dying. Town is broke, and every other state is opening a casino. I enjoy going up during the tournament series.

Borgata will be the last standing casino most likely. If new york opens a casino I don't see AC surviving. All the big spenders come from out of town.

AC had a strangle hold on the gambling economy in the East coast for a long time and they didn't use the money to rebuild the town. Who knows where all that money went but the party is almost over.

I cannot play at the Borgata because of my employers.
