Table seats are somewhat tighter, extra room for dealers. TV screens should be larger, perhaps move the larger from the old room?
Otherwise, positive reviews.
I've also heard a few players say the seats are tighter, and it did look a little bit tighter in the middle seats (like the cup holders are about a half inch closer together) but there was still plenty of room for 9 players. The new brown felts are one of the best features of the room, but unfortunately the old beat up chairs are still there and some of them get you sea sick because they rock from side to side. Hopefully they'll decide to upgrade them soon then because after a few hours on them they begin to get very uncomfortable.
I don't know what they were thinking about with the sizing of the TV's, I'm pretty sure the old room had all 65 inch TVs and all the seats were closer to the TV in the old room because it was smaller, but they're all still in our old room for the penny slot players to enjoy but maybe someone will decide to swap them all out for us.
Overall I think the room is good and everyone has their own opinion but I would of definitely picked a different wall paper for sure instead of picking one right out of the 70's but I'm not gonna be picky.
Here are some issues/things that I think can be improved:
1. Dealers were sweating on the tables in the back of the room because of low air flow and being too hot back there.
2. The podium is facing the outside of the room in a noisy casino, and supervisors can't hear dealers calling the floor. One immediate fix would be to change the rule of calling over a supervisor every time someone re-buys for over $300 (I don't know if it's a state regulation or a house rule).
3. They should put a sign at the old poker room area with an arrow showing them the room has moved
4. It's not just this room but other rooms I play in with cages - someone signs up for a game, waits an hour for it, then when it's called, they all line up at the cage for chips...purchase chips while you wait it's a lot easier for everyone.
