Was there about a month ago. Royale spread a game intermittently. It was 5-10-20. Usually short handed when it was spread. The nights I played it was a total joke! If you have any idea how to play short or aggressive, you'll make a killing. They also had a tourney one day, but I didn't play.

Much better is the Atlantis casino, about a mile or so from Royale. Much cleaner place (Royale is a dump) and had game going every night. Had 4/8 limit and 10/20 omaha. Real soft as well, but a few regulars had some idea of what they were doing, but not much. One night just a few players there and I got the 4 of them to agree to some 10/20 for an hour or so before the game broke up. The guy who ran the game at Atlantis was great, a real class act. Real quick to introduce himself (his name is Mario) make sure you're set up with drinks, food, whatever. He even drove me and my wife back to our hotel each night we were there so we did'nt need to catch a cab.

All in all games down there are a joke. Atlantis much nicer, Royale a dump, but a little fishier.

If I were an internet pro, there is no doubt in my mind I'd be living down there. I'd play online during the day sitting on the beach, and clean up from the bombed carribean tourists who caught the latest episode of WPT at night.
