Local casino is doing away with BBJ once it hits again and it's mostly because of feedback from the regs that they were tired of paying into a fund that they had nearly zero shot of winning and then the money leaving the room for good.
I applaud management for listening to them.
from management viewpoint Avaritia's post is spot on.
from A player standpoint.
High hand promo's draw a crowd of short stacked nits only there to try for the high hand. They have perfected ways to get the extra money off the table and push/bend/ break rules without any regard for other players.
cheating and collusion become the norm .
they feel they are cheating the house when in reality its you and I they are cheating.
As for the fairytale of how the moneys put back in the game , sure maybe 10-15% of it .
sure players show up more often for the bad beat when it gets high just as a room fills up with $1000 every 30 min promo's then clears out 5 minutes after its over.
