1. Finally able to play some tonight and noticed the evening times for Surge. But, hardly anybody is on there. Is traffic down on this in general? I hope not as I like the game.

2. Just slightly off topic, Fendoff, which is the sports wagering arm of VGW, is shutting down operations on December 30th. About a couple months ago, they stopped offering SC play on sports picks, just GC. You could still play their casino style games for SC (which were a ripoff but I digress). Now it's closing for good. I don't know that this represents anything to necessarily be concerned about on the business side of things for GP's parent company, but it's an interesting development.

1. Xmas?

2. Interesting, never had heard of them until today. I know Chumba casino was making more money than the poker room, based on the 2019 financials for VGW.

With so many states making sports betting legal, the regulatory environment probably has become too difficult to navigate.

I know it's late - 12:30 am locally - but it's Dec 27th now and there are zero runners on all Surge games tonight.

The setup is not exactly player-friendly (imo). Played NL10 for funsies and every new hand gives you that table spin to your seat, like when you move tables in an MTT, and I got booted very quickly when I had to sit out.
