Im on the fence with these promotions,las vegas team games were kind of enjoyable,players did take the pishh tho,timing out every hand to try and move up the points,like the idea of 3 or 4 players,more than 2, and it does seem that laddies not as generous with this promotion as $10 per game is going into pot to pay for cruise package
prizes,or is this seperate prize pool,not quite sure. Have heard in past the cruise was fantastic experience and a great laff,and probably worth having a go at winning a package. gl
