Silver Dollar Trip Report

Location
The Silver Dollar is easy to miss as the neon sign on 167 is small and obscured a bit by some trees. If you're going there, just take the first exit off of 167 South and turn right onto East Valley Road. Follow it North for 1 mile and the Silver Dollar will be on your right.

Service
The first waitress sucked. She hardly ever came by the poker table and was s l o w. Even the dealers bitched about her.

The second waitress kicked butt. She came by the poker room every 5 minutes and was very prompt with your order.

Food
They have a (small) $6 poker menu and will comp you for it if you are in a game.

Dealers
Friendly for the most part. Most were competent with only 2 mistakes: pushed one pot to the wrong person and mucked a guy's winning hand. Both mistakes were caught by the table and corrected.

Jackpots
No bad beat, but Monte Carlo jackpots for everything else with one $1125 jackpot for a royal flush and separate jackpots for each straight flush suit.

The jackpots were all fairly low (only three of them over $70) and they are slow to go up due to the low number of tables.

There is also a hourly high hand payout, minimum $100. It doubles if there are at least two 7 person games going and triples if there are three.

Tourneys
Daily $25 buy-in, $20 rebuy NL tourney.

Games
They have $3/6 games and will start a spread limit $2-6-12 game if there is enough interest. Soft games with lots of people chasing to the river. The only drawback is that in the 4 hours I was there, we had a full table once and two tables of 7 the rest of the time.
