You can purchse the items in advance but if they have to be used for the day you buy it for, which is why I just wait until I'm there in case my plans change. They're probably inticing you to come back to play then but when you've played it for a couple of months (and they realize you're not the degenerate they were hoping you were) it'll probably be taken away from you too just like candy from a baby, but I would just keep racking up points since you can easily pay for your room with all the fr
Right. I'm saying for someone who goes there a lot the play might be to buy a bunch at once on days you know you'll be there before they pull the offers.
Was down there yesterday / Thursday. They had 2/2 and 5/10 PLO and 10/25 NLHE/PLO mixed. Seems to be more high stakes there and PLO is getting more popular around here.
Bad beat jackpot was $90K, not $700K when it was real busy there.
The Steelworks lunch buffet is good, but pricey for what it is at $30, but I guess a lot of slot / pit players can pay for it with their cards. Their marinated salads and apple cobbler are really good. The meat is not high quality cuts, etc. The a la carte for dinner there is not as good as the buffet.

I saw a 5/10 plo running last night on bravo and was pretty surprised. Parx didn't get a 5/5 plo which is pretty hit or miss on Wed these days.
Found on Bravo app:
“Beginning on September 2nd we will be making some additions and changes to some games:
$2-$5 No Limit Texas Hold'em will be $200-$1500 buy-in.
We will no longer spread $5-$5 No Limit Texas hold'em.
We will offer a single blind $5-$0 PLO game with $200-$800 buy-in.
We will offer a triple blind $5-$10-$20 with a $1000-$5000 buy-in played eight handed with $8 per half hour rake.”
I got used to playing the 2/5 $1000 max buy in games so I wonder if raising the max buyin to $1500 and removing the 5/5 $1500 max buy in games will make the games tougher.
Wtf is the point of making a single blind plo game

No, if anything it keeps away the 1/2 players from bouncing back and forth with a $400 stack, tanking forever in small spots while playing so tight so I'd rather have a $1K stack take his seat and someone who's there to play. The games run deep and most people have at least 1500 in chips anyway with some 3K+.
Getting rid of the 5/5 is way over dude IMHO. No one played it except the same group of players and it usually broke early since most people come in to play 2/5 instead. They should also make the 1/2 a 1/3 100 to 500 and I bet it would get more players that go to parx instead.
They're also getting third man back.
I don't know if it's true or not but I heard so it's easier to keep track of the pot.
I wonder if the 5/10/20 game will go off with regularity. Perhaps on nights and weekends.
Anyone know what they’re replacing the Bac tables with in front of the Salon? They took out a row of the stadium machines, and they honestly look like poker tables.

They might be staging the new tables there before swapping the small tables out for larger ones on Veterans Day. Although I’m sure there’s less valuable floor space they could use to store them, even if it’s a bit further from the room

They're being installed after veterans day, Nov. 12th thru 14th.
They're also switching from bravo to poker atlas.

Larger tables you say??? Does that mean I won’t feel ridiculously cramped sitting in the 4,5 and 6 seats? Lol

Poker Atlas is up today.
What's good is it tells us who's on the list and what number we are, however it won't let you join the list from the app without calling in if you're more than 30 miles out.
Has anyone noticed comps take longer to go on cards after your session ends or is that just me
On Monday I cashed in 200 Wscore points for $75 in freeplay. I cashed out $108, but now I need 7M Wscore for $75 in FP...and that number was 4M yesterday. I knew it was too good to be true.
Yes I think this was the infinite money glitch protection.
Just released $100 free slot play now (for 275k wscore) it says I need 3.6m wscore to release $10.

Did you actually redeem it in the casino before the prices to redeem more went way up? or did it happen right after you redeemed it online?
I used $100 free slot play…
Spoiler
I got a random $5 free play and I was down to my last dollar when I got to spin the wheel on wheel of fortune and won 50 with 1 dollar left (which I cashed out after losing the last free dollar).
They're showing up as inactive on bravo. Anyone know why?
I'm getting free play again after my sessions, although they're only $5 ea. per day but I won 19.50 yest after getting to spin the wheel on the penny wheel of fortune machine near the poker room (betting .75 cents a spin).
