Rake structure / time collection
* 3-6 $3 rake, plus $1 jackpot
* 4-8 and up $4 rake, plus $1 jackpot
No flop, no drop. However, $1 is taken from the small blind. Certain times offer double jackpot. Jackpot is Aces full of anything beaten by four-of-a-kind or better, both hole cards must play. Free meals if you play 10-20 or higher. Club card is not too bad, about $1 food per hour depending on table. You can also use points in snack bar, gift shop, or Pinks. For 3-6 strange blinds but it induces action, $1 on button, $1 for small blind, and $3 for big blind. You must post here.
Quality of opposition
Generally at the low limits to 6-12 it's pretty bad. Same for $100-NL, though play gets significantly better at the $200-NL -- The recent edition of the $40-NL may have changed the level of competition at $100-NL
Wait time
The room is large enough and never waited more than 15-20 min. for games $3/6 and below. The 6-12 game can take a while. Generally if there are more than 2 tables going at a level then the wait time is low.
Food
Food at 10/20 and up is $2 for whatever you order. There is a small menu of appetizers and cheaper fare that is free for players at 10/20 and higher.
Recommended dishes:
* Any grilled, poached, or fried fish of the day (you may always request salmon)
* Chinese broccoli
* Pad-Ta-Le
* Vietnamese rice noodles with beef and shrimp
