Do the Alberta casinos actually rip you off with an extra rake on a stooopid tournament bad beat?? The daily tournaments look almost as bad as Seneca with so many additional fees, e.g.,
$100 (buy-in)
+ $10 (registration fee)
+ $5 (tournament bad beat)
+ optional $5 (for bonus chips). :rolleyes:
I'm shocked that Ontario now has better-value regular tournaments at
OLG Slots, Brantford and Rama.
Just like many players will never understand how terrible high rake is, those same players don't understand the stupidity of paying for a bad beat jackpot. Fallsview & Casino Niagara have profited over $100,000 from the 10% rake of BBJ they have taken from players. One lucky player has won the BBJ top prize THREE times for a total of ~$100,000! :o The regs have lost thousands of dollars in BBJ by playing in Niagara Falls and even the best players have a lower win rate than this one guy only due to pure luck!
