4 hours of poker play gets you a rate of $69 (i'm not real sure about this number....), and 8 hours of play gets you $39. plus tax.

That is the rate for a weekday holiday.

Aren't there other places where 4 hours gets you a better rate? If you can find a better one, play the minimum there and then go to the Borg for the rest.

That is the poker rate, once you play the 4/6 hr of required time your rate drops. When you check out ask the front desk to call the poker room.

yea, just remembered, the poker rate is $100, discountable to 39 after eight hours of play. they will charge your credit card that amount and credit it back to you a day or two after you check-out.

No--you only pay your final room bill at checkout.

If you use a check card, however, they will charge something like 300 bucks on it when you check in as a room deposit. That's what gets charged back a few days later.
