2 straight years I have encountered absolutely ridiculous unethical play, with nothing being done about it. A bonus to the chipleader could solve a lot of the problems IMO

If ME sat awards 78 seats, they should do a full redraw at like 120 left and 90 left. It would solve a lot of the problems. I nearly bubbled 3 years ago because an entire table agreed to fold to the blinds for 3 hours and nothing was done about it. Yes, I pointed it out. Yes, I complained, during and after about what happened. No, my complaints weren't heard because I don't matter

1) A more flat payout structure

2) Some events with $300, $400, or $500 entry fees to get more casual players involved. $1500+ is pretty steep for most players.

I would like to see a few of the live-streamed final tables shown in an edited format on an ESPN network.

They already have the footage, hole cards, and commentary on several final tables for each week of the series. Why not show a "final table of the week" every Tuesday on ESPN while the WSOP is going on, on a delay of a couple days? I feel like most of ESPN's prime time during the summer is filled with amateur baseball and softball, so I can't imagine this would be a drag on their ratings, and it really should cost very little.

main event for PLO.

more bling bling.

sponsorship by a luxury car company. free Lambo for the first loser of the main event.

plaques instead of chips for high roller tournaments and main event final table.

2,5 - 5 million $ tournament or cashgame.

I hate to say it even though we all know it but the WSOP doesn't Give a flying u know what about the players. For those of us old enough to play @ binions it's a sad,sad, journey.

It's big business & they know that players will play no matter what. This is the biggest online poker forum and the owner of Venetian wages war against our needs & a huge % of this forum still give that piece of **** business.

Reduce ME to two Day 1's and one Day 2. The # of total entrants have stabilized over the past 5 years, and WSOP has shown they can accomodate 3k+ entrants in a day with proper planning. This will allow more rec players with full-time jobs to play which is +EV for the poker economy

Would be cool if they made an app linked to your cage balance, where you can reg the tourney from the app. The app produces a QR code that the dealer scans to verify your good to go. Possible deposit options, but I'm not sure about the complicated nv law. Would save them huge staff bills or mean staff could be better utilised. Could reduce reg fees by 5% (5% of reg fee, not buy in) to incentivise people to get on board.

Possibilities after that are endless. Stack reporting via the app, drinks orders, players already regg'd etc...

But good luck on that. The shoe used to have 24/7 ruffet just for the poker players too. FREE! Think that's going to happen soon with Caesars?

Don't forget, they're in bankruptcy. Even though Gary Loveman CEO was paid $32.6m in wages and stock/options last year. Just 927x his AVG worker pay was.

Wondering how 20k for first bust out will change the dynamics at the early levels.

I don't think we need more games added, or more NLHE tournaments. What they should add are more tournaments on the non-NLHE variants that are actually popular. The $1500 LO8 tournament draws about 1000 players every year. Why is there only one of these events and like 20 $1500 NLHEs? They should definitely more O8 tournaments before they add something like 5-card draw that is never actually spread in casinos.
