That is real low... both of them.... I hope there isn't some catch we're missing, like 5 min blinds, lol
A question I have, probably not the right place but, does Fallsview/Niagara validate overnight parking with several hours or poker play? Trying to avoid the outrageous parking fees at the hotel.
30 minute blinds
They start at 12:30pm, registration starts at 12:00pm -
Unfortunately I cannot attend this weekend but will be going to as many as I can. Will probably try the satties during the week, after work to get in.
They are the same. Just get a player's ard if you don't have one and use it when you play. Even minimal play will cover parking at both casinos.
For poker, you give it to the dealer.
will do

I wrote an article about poker in Ontario two years ago in Casino World Magazine, including a table of all the many tournaments and poker rooms available in our province, but unfortunately, almost all of the poker changes since then have been bad news, including Great Blue Heron,
Another player and I had a meeting with two Fallsview Casino Shift Managers last year and they promised us new daily tournaments, so I'm ecstatic that three tournaments have been approved so far and now running. I will be wearing a "I :h: Fallsview" shirt
Unlimited re-entries, late registration and alternates are allowed until the end of the first break or level 5 start. I think there were 7-9 cash game tables running on Sunday.
We reached around 1:00pm went to the cashier and registered. it was a $165 with $19.5 as rake. I was the 40th player registered and it was a couple minutes before level 2 ( i guess they started a few minutes late). Starting stack is 7.5k and the first level is 50/100. I really like that there is something to play for early and stacks can easily go in playing only 75bbs deep. The chips are new and clean, poker room looks really good with much better tables. I got to the poker room, signed a paper indicating i'm over age etc.. and was seated at my table. I only lasted 4 levels before my AA<KJcc on t65cc gii and he binks the club.
Sn1pedad made the final table (8 got paid) and busted in 4th. My mom only plays cash games and probably waited about 10-15 minutes for a 1/3 game to fill up.
I hopped into the 1/3 game, there was a seat right away and crushed it while waiting for my dad. There were a lot of cash game tables running by 4:00pm and everyone seemed excited about the mtt and how many players it brought. A huge +, you can now buy chips at the desk instead of going to the cashier (not sure about registering for mtt)
It was nice to see blondfish, he also fted but didn't cash.
I really enjoyed it overall, and would definitely go back to play it in the future.
A couple things i hope they change in the future are 1) having a big blind ante instead of traditional ante. It slows the game and the dealers have to remind everyone after every hand as well as people bickering about who did or who didn't put one etc..
2) There was a 1 hour break(at 7pm i think), imo that is way too long for a 1 day tournament with people having work the next day and i'm sure with 15 minutes, it is enough time for someone to go order a snack if they are hungry. Imo change it to 4 levels-15 mins-re-entry ends then 3 levels-15mins break- 3 levels-15min break and so on.
Here are some pics.
