I would like to know how the Daytona poker room compares to Orange city in: rake (I play $1/$2), cleanliness, safety, competition, food, staff, and general atmosphere.
Has anyone here been to both rooms/have a suggestion for me? I only have time for one.
Thanks in advance.
I've only played at OC once and Daytona twice.. so take that into account.. I'm sure there are others that have been to both a ton.
they are both being ran under the same license, so I'd be shocked if the rake was different between the two rooms... especially seeing how the high hand promo's are shared between both rooms as well. that being said, I'm not sure what the rake is but I 'think' it might be a max of $7.
I went to OC once because I was already halfway there after taking wifey to the Orlando Airport. It's nice. Food is good, chairs are great, usb charging at the tables, and very very clean and spacious between the tables. The only negative would be the chips. They are very plastic-y and feel very cheap. It's a new room so the chips are clean/slick and they tend to fall over if stacked to tall, and a couple of times I saw them fall over the rail on to the floor.
Daytona is old. The chips are gross..dirty and just ugly. I didn't even bother to keep any to add to my collection. the player pool seemed to be a little on the ghetto side and at my particular table, EVERY SINGLE PLAYER that came to my table, over a 4 hr session, bought in for the minimum. From what I've been told, the action here is supposed to be great but was not the case for me. That being said, I only played cash there once and the other session was a tournament. Also, food was horrible. Got a grilled cheese sandwich because I figured you couldn't mess that up but was proven wrong when I was served toasted bread with cold cheese in the middle. No USB charging at tables. Also in my cash session, I found myself waiting on the dealer to tell the other players that the action was on them. I didn't know anyone here or had not played here before or else I would have been more direct. This kind of tilted me a tad as I felt like the dealers weren't keeping the game moving like they should.
Servers at both locations were not pleasing to the eye at all.
Both rooms have card shufflers.
Another room to consider that's kind of in the general area is Club 52 in Melbourne. That's my 'home' turf. Fri/Sat the servers provide a good view.
