I was there a couple of weeks ago and they had 2 - 4 peso game going which I played in with another 2 + 2 er. It was a game full of laughs to say the least. The rake structure wasnt that bad actually, especially relative to Punta del este. They have a time charge of 10 pesos every half hour, which makes the hands play faster and is not completely out of control. The bad part of the casino is that the dealers there may be the absolute worst I have ever seen in any place in the world. I was heckled at the table when I won a big pot and the dealer while pushing the pot to me grabbed a 25 peso chip and in a really demanding way ASKED for that to be his tip. I quite rudely told him to get his hands off my money and of course stiffed him afterwards. In casinos in europe, other parts in South America, N. America, and the carribean I have never in my life been asked for a tip. A few hours later a different dealer did the same thing but for one hundred pesos in a much bigger pot that I won where myself and 5 others went all in blind preflop. Just what??? just took 100 pesos out of my pot and pressured me into giving it to him?!?!?! I told him to learn some manners and he might get a tip. BTW, its not like in other smaller pots I wasn´t tipping the dealers either. If they weren´t rude, they got theirs.
Anyway, the time that we were there was already passed the summer busy season so I don´t know how it is at peak times. The 2-4 peso was the only game going. On some of the signs I remember seeing that they had a 20-40 peso game listed but I don´t know if that even runs in the summer. It might during the tournament.
