This is getting [censored] ridiculous.

They should close all the play money tables down until they sort this [censored] out.

There are legal reasons for having play money tables, but I doubt they have to have unlimited numbers of them...

I didn't know that Cyndie. What legal reasons though?

Besides the fact, as you said, restrict the numbers of them.
There's something seriously wrong with damaging your games for your real money players, and having significant downtime, because your server can't handle the load.

Especially when the active play money players outnumber the real money players by 2 to 1. It's just crazy to run more table places for free than paid games. Not least because a lot of the free money players play lots of tables.

I'm pretty amazed a site hasn't come to the same conclusion and really limited the play table places.
If I was in charge of UB that is the first thing I would do, in an effort to rid them off their terrible connection issues.

prima limits there play money tables and only allow so many opened up at a time.
