I know this isn't relevant to poker, but can someone direct me to the site to check my points on my rewards card. I was at Twin river last night, put the card in a slot machine and it said 157 points?! Any help would be great.

When I was there Saturday afternoon, they had an open table with a dealer without any game running there for ~30 min until they finally started a 2/5 game there, but only after the guy called 2/5 names instead of 1/2 names since the floor meant to start a 1/2 game. Many times I've seen multiple open tables with dealers with no game running despite there being lists.

To your 10 minute complaint, granted the official house rules say that you have 10 minutes to respond. Especially when there was no text system (which is a nice additional although not if it doesn't work, which it didn't for me this weekend), you might not hear your name called if you're in the gaming tables just off the side of the poker room (although the speakers have gotten better now). When the room was younger, they definitely weren't abiding by the published 10 minute rule, and I saw some disgruntled people who had been on a list for hours only to have there seat given away in 1 minute. What might be a reasonable compromise is if they call the next name on the list after a minute or two, but if you show up to the desk within 10 minutes, they'll give you the next available seat.

Yeah I don't go here much but the past two times I've let the floor (older guy grey hair) know we have 2 open seats after the dealer said nothing (and a list of 20+) and he got mad both times said "You think I don't know that??" and went out of his way after a short argument to make sure no one filled those spots. Over and hour went by and the dealer refused to call the open seats probably scared of the floor but still b/s.

This room is only a convenience to local players and wont be here in 3 years

I talked to rewards club booth this weekend. Can't check points online. I would stop by the booth and ask next time you're there

IMO. Mohegan will be the one that closes.

In regards to the room closing, The room seems to be thriving! Hopefully after this first year of being open, management will look at the numbers and realize that the room has established itself.
I for one would love to see it managed a bit more professionally, have dedicated dealers and an actual poker room manager.

No rooms are going to close however you will see a change in the landscape from two very large rooms to 5-6 (or more) smaller rooms. Wynn in Everett isn't affecting Mohegan nearly as much as it will Twin and Foxwoods. Then you have Taunton opening and the beautiful new 25-table room in Salem, NH this spring. The MA/Northern RI market will be vibrant and thriving however Mohegan attracts primarily CT and some NY.

TR won't be nearly as popular as it is now if they continue on the road they're on. They try to market themselves as a locals poker room, yet they're drawing heavily from Massachusetts since they're the closest casino, and from those in CT who don't want to go to Foxwoods/Mohegan for whatever reason. With Wynn opening they won't be the closest to the Boston area anymore, and some of the smaller charity rooms looking to open in Mass would draw some of that crowd away. I suspect the CT regs looking for change of scenery at TR will eventually grow tired with the antiquated technology (or lack thereof), the mismanagement, the lack of Bravo, the inefficient staff, and poor dealers. I don't think it'll completely close, but if they continue on their current track, they're greatly at risk of getting a large portion of their customers taken by Wynn, MGM, other Mass properties, and by their own incompetence.

I may have an idea of the reason.

Hah, I'm sure there are many. Point being, if TR continues to be incompetent and behind the times, its advantage over MS or FW's own incompetence becomes thin to the local CT player.

I doubt any of them will close, but I would be surprised if Mohegan and Foxwoods don't downsize their rooms eventually and Twin River no longer has the overflow they have now. Wynn's plan is a 95-table room, not sure if that'll end up being sustainable either.

Twin River found "partially" responsible for DUI crash that seriously injured Woman.

jury awarded Alyssa Moulton $23 million. She was left paralyzed by by the April 2010 crash on Route 146. The driver of the car, Alexander Arango, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and driving to endanger. He was sentenced to two years in prison.

The jury found Arango, who was 18 at the time, 70 percent responsible for the crash. However, the jury found Twin River 20 percent liable for serving alcohol to Arango. A Providence liquor store was found 10 percent responsible, for also selling alcohol to Arango.

Foxwoods is already downsizing as they moved their tournaments downstairs and will be closing the upstairs room permanently. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mohegan close that entire Casino of the Wind where the poker room is located before long. It is already closed for table games during the week.

No way that segment closes. For one, it's largely sunk costs. But they also have a restaurant there plus the club. They want it there if they need it, sort of like small market baseball teams who tarp off the upper deck but still want it there in case by some miracle they make it to the World Series and actually get demand for those seats.

It isn't a sunk cost if you continually have to staff it. Should there be a downsize coming the casino which has already been downsized (closed table games during week) would appear to be the logical place to begin as they had already identified it as the place to cut costs last year by closing during the week.

Some time ago Mohegsn closed its poker room for a significant period. before reopening.

Mohegan closed their poker room at the beginning of the poker boom for reasons unrelated to poker.

I'm not sure I follow, since it's not being staffed now, other than weekends when there's demand. Sure, I guess you have some cleaning people, slot techs, and the like during the week, but that's pretty much it. And I guess they also have to deal with HVAC.

What I meant by sunk costs is it's been built and already there. You're saying they'd just wall it off? Or do you mean they'd repurpose it? Chances are they just wait until at least the dust settles after Wynn opens.

At 2/5 NL, the dealer forgot to drag in the small blind into the pot. He dealt the flop, and I said, "Hold On, where's the small blind?" The player in the small blind had pulled it back, after he folded. The dealer looked at me like a deer caught in the headlights. Yes, that is the dealers job.

The auto shufflers there are worthless. The floor swapped ours out with a different one. Neither one worked. When does the Wynn open?

Reported on Fox News Boston, Wynn is on track for June 2019 opening...

Where those reasons really related to cheating, hookers & drugs like the rumors I've heard?

I played the old room back when I was 21 years old in 2001 like twice and was offered pills in the nearby bathroom from a guy with a black eye then he freaked out when I said no and thought I was going to report him l to security.

Wish I had keep playing live poker back then when they had 200+ players for stud or limit holdem tourneys at 9am

The sweet spot at Mohegan was the year or so before they reopened the room and had a couple of the PokerPro electronic tables right near the one of the blackjack pits in the Sun casino (the one near the bank of slots that have the car on them). Even though the casino sure didn't make it easy to get a card to play, it still brought in a lot of folks who truly had no clue what they were doing. It was the closest thing to lawfully obtained free money that I've ever encountered in a casino.

Those poker pro tables were like xmas every day.

Whats my beat chance of getting a seat tomorrow before the list is 175 deep? Is noon too late?

plz respond
