Overall Impressions
4/5
Overall it is one of the largest rooms in Blackhawk with constant action.

Atmosphere
3/5
It is a comfortable room. The table spacing is a little tight and the drink carts are falling apart. Beyond that the tables are well maintained and about half the tables have automatic shufflers installed.

Dealers
4/5
There is little turnover in the staff and most of them are competent and friendly.

Food and Drink
4/5
Cocktail service is pretty good, even on Friday and Saturday nights. There is no food service in the poker room, but they do have snacks and soups. There is a deli downstairs as well as formal dining and a buffet on the poker room level.

Wait Time/Overall Service
3/5
The waiting lists for tables are pretty haphazard, but only 2 games are spread. 2-5 spread limit holdem and 5-5 limit holdem. Table changes are frequently requested to find the table with the best action. The staff handles these quite well. On the weekends it is very difficult to get into a game, unless arriving early. There is a system to call ahead, but phones are answered sporadically during prime time.

Comps
4/5
There is a $1/hour comp system. The bad beat jackpot is currently over $400K, the result of the bad beat being quads beaten and both cards having to play. This has certainly been driving the action. With $1 being pulled at $60 and $1 being pulled at $70, the 5-5 tables are regularly building the bad beat jackpot.
