So yea.not looking good for tournies which sucks because that was the one good thing they had going for them, however not sure that means the entire room would close down, but anything is possible I do know for the Motor City 500 that they brought in dealers from outside.which I'm sure was the reason as to why there is a union issue. His response started with 'they don't tell me much' but then explained how its a union issue in litigation and that he didn't expect tournies to come back anytime soon. I was down at MC last weekend and asked the floor about what happened to tournaments. poker is labor heavy and if they aren't seeing enough profit for the floor space and/or residual gaming in pits and slots then they could pull the plug. You never know what's in the minds of upper management in a casino. Is the overhead too much for the games they do run? IMO that would be no surprise since a vast majority of the action has gone down the street.ĭid they lose their butt on the tournament series? Certainly an opportunity to play against a mostly different Player Pool, but don't expect to see the amount of unskilled play you might see in an otherwise untapped poker demographic. I would also assume/hope that most Players aren't going to think that they'll be tons of fish available when they room does (re)open. This may not affect Detroit Players since there's still no hotel (also in progress). No official announcement but they are making changes to the Gaming Floor and are hiring staff.

there's activity at Gun Lake indicating that poker may return in December. A portion of the letter indicates that Gaming has discussed the issue (behind closed doors) and has come to this conclusion, but won't indicate any reasoning behind it. If it's part of the law, then Gaming can simply say they are just doing their job by enforcing the law as written. I'm not sure if the clause stated in the letter is part of the modified law or part of a Supplier Guideline issued by Gaming. If a Player wants to tip from their stack they must get the Charity to redeem chips and then hand the cash to the Dealer themselves, not the Charity. Players may not exchange chips or cash with another Player Players MUST hand Dealers cash, not chips. Gaming has clamped down on the Charity Rooms in the W MI area with regards to tipping Dealers.
