I've seen a sign-up list for one and have had my initials listed, but I never have actually seen one materialize in a Los Angeles area casino.
Some 2+2ers have gotten games going in Las Vegas casinos, and maybe there's one going there right now. But I think PLO8 games are hard to keep going anywhere. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think PLO8 is sustainable in a brick and mortar casino. The game itself is a lot of fun and some day I hope I'll get to play in such a game, although I fully expect to lose all the money I have with me.
The last time I played PLO8 in a private game, the guy sitting directly on my left owned me. I still remember my last hand in that game, which cost me everything I had left, about eighty bucks. I made aces full and hoped he had made kings full. (But he had quad kings). In a limit game, I would not have been phased by that - just part of the game - a hurtful part, but no big deal. But the devastating result of that hand, coupled with getting pounded on all session ended that particular session for me. That sort of thing will inevitably happen in a casino when the game is offered, there won't be a long line of people waiting to get their butts kicked, and the game will die. (I hope I'm wrong).
At any rate, I have never seen a game of PLO8 offered in any brick and mortar casino while I have been there, and I look every time.
