First things Maverick did when it bought Caribbean was to cut off player benefits, including food and drink comps.

So when it is introducing new drink specials - naturally I am skeptical whether they are special at all.

So Red Dragon has a Friday prime rib special, and a wing wednesday thing.

Fridays are so busy there I haven't tried going up... But its been a looong time since I've had some prime.

Are RD and Fortune the only places indoors now? Is there an Omaha 0/8 running anywhere now?

Caribbean is running indoor games as well now (4/8 limit and 1/3 "no limit" mostly), and I saw the prime rib special poster there last night, too. I'm guessing Maverick is using the same menu / food promos across all their properties.

Still no poker at muckleshoot, right?

I hope they have their summer and Fall Classics, I am getting vaccinated and i am itching to play a big live MTT

Played at Caribbean and Red Dragon, will say that both are pretty good with the COVID restrictions.

7-handed with plastic dividers and dealers wiping down the dividers every time a seat opens.

Although I will give props to Caribbean for being more proactive on wiping things down.

Few caveats for the game.

Caribbean doesn't currently allow table change. So if you sit down in a game, you're stuck there unless the table breaks.

However, you can change seat and the max buy-in for the 1/3 game is $500.

Red Dragon still has a must-move system and you can change table once you're out of the must-move game.

Max buy-in is $300 for the 1/3 game.

------------

As for food and beverages. I didn't order any from Red Dragon, but Caribbean definitely revamped its costs for drinks. It's about double of what it used to be and will charge you down to pennies, as in the server will bring you quarters and pennies. I was like WTF the first time.

Poker menu is now just a single page and I couldn't really find anything decent to want to try.

Overall, I would definitely go back if I have the itch to play. Just a heads-up that even though the room is very good with its COVID restrictions, not every player observe the social distancing guideline. So play at your own risk.

That’s a bummer to hear about the drinks. Their alcohol prices were the best around for a long time. Sad.

I ordered the 16oz cut, medium rare, attached pic is what I got. Cost: 0, used points.

For 0, it was fine. Not medium rare. Potato was satisfactory. Bread was badly toasted, standard broccoli. BARELY 16oz if that.

Dog loved the well done part.

A 'Seattle dog' at the RD is a plain hot dog with mustard and ketchup on the side. They also offer a 'aces poker dog' for $2, which I can only assume is a plain hot dog, aka a Seattle dog (Maverick).

For the $5 poker dog special, you get a Seattle dog with fries. Which is a plain hot dog with (pretty good) fries.

Why do they offer a plain hot dog under two different names? It is a mystery!

According to wikipedia, a Seattle Dog is a hot dog topped with cream cheese and sauteed onions. I'd like to eat that.

Is Fortune still 7 handed? How many tables can they open? Eleven is is the most I’ve seen going but I’m pretty sure they’re back inside where they used to have 15 tables.

Judging from the app they just went to 13 tables after being at 11 for a long time.

PLO at Caribbean starting Monday.

They had an interest list going tonight for plo. Do you mean next Monday it will definitely run? I’d probably play.

that was a coming soon list. they weren’t planning to run it until Monday.

Cool, thanks!

Might take a while for the PLO game to develop in Caribbean.

Saturday night, Dragon had 4 tables with a long list and Caribbean had 4 players playing PLO.

Did anyone else hear that Red Dragon paid a badbeat when in the tent that didn’t qualify and the long time floor was fired as a result? Was the money put back in the fund or just stolen from us? Did anyone witness?

So a dealer I trust literally told me at the table in front of everyone else that this is what happened. Player A flopped a straight flush wheel A-5 holding something like A3 on a 245sss board. The turn brought the 6s giving player B with 78ss a higher straight flush and Player A playing only one card now and not qualifying.

The dealer argued with the floor even but it was still paid incorrectly. I believe the amount would of been 50k plus maybe 80k of our money just stolen by the players and floor if this story is true and usually these things are never reported or ignored and swept under the rug at multiple points. Did anyone play in the tent this last year and hear if or witness this? I really really doubt this longtime dealer was just bullshitting up a story that would affect his employers reputation and if true Maverick should pay with its piles of cash not our bad beat fund

Right, a long time floor doesn't know that only 3 plays on 2456 board.

And that he ignored what the dealer said.

And no one else verified it before paying out 50k+.

And no one else had heard this story before and questioned it.

I guess that's how these rumors get started, even if it's illogical and extremely unlikely.

Looks like Fortune is back up to 15 tables. Does anyone know if it’s still 7 handed with plexiglass or full ring?

Still 7 handed with glass.

As of 2 weeks ago anyways. That was after the increase.

I hope the MTT's get going again. Love tournaments. I wonder if Muckelshoot will have their fall classic or not.

Whenever the game goes, it is great, with tons of action and at least one player that has never played Omaha before (I’m still down in the game though). But maybe the games are softer at dragon/fortune, I have a small sample size playing at those two and found the games kinda tight and reg-ish.

Dragon has bigger pool, so naturally it should be easier.

Why do you hold this to be true?
