The only other game in town, besides the boats, is the Seminole Hard Rock. They offer these tournaments:
$28+$12 single table satellite to a $200+40 (advertised as a $30+10, but it pays $280 out, not $300)
$63+$17 single table satellite to a $500+50 (advertised as a $65+$15, but pays $630, not $650)
$85+$15; $100+20; and I think a $200+25, in addition to the aforementioned $200+40 and $500+$50. Some of those are multi-tables.

When the alternative is $2 max bet on the ring games, the tourneys are the only shot at "real poker" to some. But these tournaments sell out and go off - the free market at work.
