commerce is now dropping $4 per hand in the brown chip games

[Rick Nebiolo]

Timer,

I knew Hollywood Park was taking $4 + $1 (and consequently wasn't getting many 4/8 games) but didn't realize the Commerce was this high too. Did they change to this recently?

At least the Commerce isn't dropping everything on a "blind steal" in the jackpot games. How could they continue do this in jackpot games given they changed to per hand drop in top section (where of course the drop was reduced on no flop)? The reality is that the Commerce will do much better taking a reduced "adjusted" or "modified" drop on no flop. Games will start more easily early in the day and stay together when they tighten up. They should have made that change years ago (although apparantly it couldn't be made for legal reasons).

Regards,

Rick
