what games are included in the 4/8 mixed game i saw on bravo last night. thanks.

Poker Rep,

what is the current policy on using comps?

do you still have a limit on the amount you can use in a day?

What's the general rule/procedure for the game lists? I ask because I was waiting Saturday for a table at the new Wynn poker room, slowly watching my name get closer to the top (30+ people), and then all of a sudden it was bumped way down.

I went up and asked about it and the guy said that there must have been a bunch of call-ins, and then he bumped my name back up.

I assume casinos can choose whoever thy want, move lists around etc, but is there any kind of general rule or policy on lists?

If their system is like ours you can call ahead of time and be put on the list, but you won't really bump anyone until you arrive and check in. If a table breaks they bump you, too.

Also at the Wynn, a $20 goes a long way with the floor if you are in a hurry

I hate that stuff like this goes on so much. I get that $20 isn't a ton of money but if they will let you cut the list for $20, what will they do for $50? Makes me nervous when the floor comes over to make a decision and knows one of the people involved in the hand on a first name basis. If they can be bribed to cut the list, can they be bribed on rulings and decisions?

Casinos don't normally break games when there are people on the list. They call the list first...

if you call in, your name will go on the bottom of the list and an icon will appear next to your name indicating that you are a call-in.

so for example, if there are 5 names on the list and you call in, you will be sixth on the list
and noted as a call-in. the next player to call -in or walk up to the podium will be entered
below your name on the list.

players who are actually in the room are called off the list as seats open and the names advance on the list, including call-ins. for example if there are three call ins on the list
ahead of you and you are fourth on the list and are in the room and a seat opens, you will be called for the seat. the call-ins will still remain on the list in the same order.

if a call in checks in, they remove the icon from that name and will then call that player based on the original position on the list. so if you see 4 call ins ahead of you and two show up before any seats open, the two call -ins are now considered in the room and will be seated ahead of you.

in my experience playing 1/3 at the wynn, i haven't seen anyone bribe the floor to cut the list.

Yes, you may use up to $100 per day. If you have a special request, feel free to ask the poker staff on your next visit.

Hi Nax. The call in procedure was explained well by Zen. The call in's would always be above you on the list. They would be "activated" once they checked in at the front desk.

With the system in place, your name would always be in the same position. However, you could go from "next up" to having to wait should the call in's who were above your name arrive before you were called for the seat.

Generally, the only time someone would be added to the top of the list would be a special circumstance in which maybe the list attendant had made an error or other oddity.

Treating everyone fairly is our top priority, so I certainly hope this was special circumstance if any names were added above yours.

Might I ask, were you on multiple lists and got your position confused?

Re: the list issue. Wynn is the most well run room in the city, IMO. I don't think they're messing with the lists or favoring regs. I've always been impressed to see that they treat their customers very well regardless of if they're playing $1/3, $5/10, or higher.


Unrelated, several of the shufflers are marking the cards pretty badly. Since the marks are not all identical it's theoreticallly possible for someone to read cards. I'm not looking to ask the dealer to replace a card every other hand though. Can the machines be cleaned or tuned to fix this issue? It been particularly bad on 4 today and 13 yesterday.

Hi Coaster, thank you for the support. Like you said, we aren't a room to put up with shenanigans on the list, so if you ever see something please PM me here.

Our shufflers are cleaned in house and quite often I might add. Generally, they don't leave marks on the cards. I would be interested to see the marks you are speaking of and will have a look. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the fast reply. You can see them on most cards. It's a horizontal line about 1/3rd of the way down the white edge. Some have the mark on just one side, some have 2, 3, or 4 of the marks on either side.

Thanks, but there wasn't any confusion here. I was on multiple lists, but since y'all were so busy and not using text notifications, I didn't want to risk missing my name being called so I literally stood in front of the desk, leaning up against a column, watching my name make progress on the 2-5 list, and then noticed it had gone down significantly. My name on the 1-3 list moved in a normal fashion.

I appreciate your reply and commitment to fair treatment. I think your room has tremendous long-term potential, and hope you're successful.

Hit the new room for the first time last night. I like it quite a lot. I really liked the previous room, too. Lots of room, good tables, I like the aesthetic. I'm curious to see if they steal all of the V's traffic once the series dies down. I think if they hadn't simultaneously raised the rake a bit (which is understandable) they'd have crushed it. Parking is still close too.

hey all

I'm headed out to Vegas this week and would like to play some low stakes PLO. how often does 1-2 run in this poker room? What is the structure? Is it a 5 dollar bring in? Thanks.

Hello SteveO,

I was just there for about 2 weeks. Played a LOT at the Wynn (though technically the Encore room). They had 1/2 PLO every night and I honestly didn't have a single losing night when I played there. The 1/2 draws in a LOT of people who literally have no clue what PLO is and just have money to blow. Best of luck!

It's 5 to open with a 10 button straddle allowed, so the game may play like 5-10.

thanks for the info. im a plo noob and wanted to try some actual 1-2, but sounds like that game is far from 1-2.

just got home from vegas and was quite impressed with the new room in the Encore. the short walk to the bathroom, sports betting window, and spread out tables was very nice. it was quite a contract compared to the dated and dingy bellagio poker room. next time im there i wont be anywhere but the wynn and occasionally aria

Thanks for checking us out SteveO. If there's anything you think we might be able to improve on please let us know. See you next trip. GL

I played it last week. Fun game, but I was probably the only non-local. It played more similarly to 1/3 than 5/10 or even 2/5- multiple limped pots, rare for it to be re-potted pf without AAxx, etc. You could probably buy in for $300 and be fine.

Got a chance to play here. The new room is great but I'm pissed because I got involved in a hand where another player string bet into me. Dealer didn't see it. Other players did. Floor ruled in favor of the string bettor.

Awful call on management's part. Have been playing here every time I'm in vegas. Very disappointed at the Wynn... Probably will not come here anymore

the new room is beautiful, BUT:

you need to remove the hanging lights, they block the tvs.
