I've been to both Rama and Port Perry (Great Blue Heron Casino) many time. Personally, I prefer GBH because I find it easier to take money from decent bad players (people who play regulary but have never read a poker book) than to take money from people who don't know what they're doing beccause 1)you can't bluff them 2) you can't read their hand. So if you want clueless people, go to Rama, if you want a soft game but not crazy, go to GBH.
GBH is REALLY smoky whereas, Rama is smoke free.Also GBH has up to three 5/10 tables and Rama has up to four 4/8 tables. If you want to be assured of a full game, you mught want to go to Rama because they have Main games and MUST MOVE games which means whenever the MAIN game is not full, they pluck people from the Must Move table. However, I find that the Main table is usually filled with the regulars who are good players so the action may not be great.
One thing about Rama, because they only have 1 dollar chips, the pots tend to APPEAR larger than they are so the players tend to chase a lot because they think they are getting sufficient odds but they're not......that's good I guess but it's annoying to get "rivered" by chasers. Also, with only 1 dollar chips, you have to tip at least a dollar whereas, at GBH they have $.50 chips for the small blinds which you can use for tipping small pots. Both casinos are 10% rake with max $5 which is steep.
One last thing, Rama is a muchbigger and nicer looking casino than GBH.....so u might want to go there because it's your first trip to a poker room.
