Re: borgata wants a hundred bucks for a poker rate?
 

Also, none of you should be worrying about managing to play the full 8 hours. The Borgata collects cards at like 5 am for the new day. As long as they don't collect the cards at a time when you're clocked in but not in the room, they can't tell whether or not you've played poker for all the hours your card has been clocked in for.

So, right after you check in to the hotel, sit down in a game and clock in. Stay clocked in whether or not you're still playing until you feel like going to bed, then go down and clock out. If you're staying for multiple days, stay up until they collect the cards for the new day, then sleep really late and you'll have your room rate taken care of by the time you wake up.

I'd call them and verify, that doesn't seem correct. You should get the weekday rate based on hours played. They may have confused the weekends.

Have you called back?

nah not yet, seems the general consensus here is that i'm getting the reservation for 100 and then after i play the 8 hours, they knock 60 off my bill? i'm heading down there sometime this weekend and am gonna talk it over with the floor just to be sure. thanks for the help though.

avid,

if you reserve a poker rate, do they quote you a price on the phone at $40?

Did you call the poker room to make the rezo, or did you go through normal chanels? I call the poker room directly to get the rates.

No they quote you the rate of $100 because that's what you'll be paying whether you actually play any poker or not. Once you play 4 hours ($59) or 8 ($39), the rate drops. When you check out, they will call the poker room, verify how many hours you played, and adjust your rate.

just learn to count a decent game, play their 6-decker which used to be the best in AC.. not saying much... but the comps are great, do some break even play and the room is free... food too [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

it's a good side-gig if the borgata suck-outs become unbearable
