Just so everyone knows, this place literally has THE WORST RAKE IN CANADA.
$1/$2 is raked at 10% up to $10 + $2 for BBJ
$2/$5 is raked at 15% up to $16 + $2 for BBJ
That's right, up to $18 PER POT in the $2/$5 game.
This makes the games almost unbeatable. They try to justify it with free food and drink. It's an absolute joke. No serious professional would play here long-term to make money when there are so many better options.
For comparison:
Casino Montreal:
$1/$2: 10% up to $8 + $2 for BBJ
$2/$5: 10% up to $10+ $2 for BBJ
Casino Niagara:
$1/$3 and $2/$5: $14 per hour
Cowboys Calgary:
$1/$3, $3/$5 and $5/$10: 10% up to $7
Deerfoot Calgary
$1/$3 and $2/$5: 10% up to $7
Parq and Grand Villa, Vancouver
$1/$3: 10% up to $8 + $2 for BBJ
$2/$5: 10% up to $9 + $2 for BBJ
That is what reasonable rake looks like. Save your money and go elsewhere to play poker, because the Playground are fleecing their players.
