The 1-5 Chip Scale: Each review is based on the 1 to 5 chip scale. The more chips, the better with a max location score of 25. Chips will be awarded based on the following categories:
Games Offered: This one’s really simple, one chip for each different game offered beyond the tournament.
Tournament: The fun factor has a lot to do with this category, as does blind structure, percent payout, house rules and rule enforcement.
Atmosphere: Well lit, clean, easy to find poker room with non-smoking available. Televisions with sporting events on, music, easy access to food & beverages also influence this category.
Equipment: Is the equipment casino quality, or something found in the local super-store?
Staff: Professional, knowledgeable and friendly! Cash game dealers are accurate and quick pulling rakes. Tournament dealers are fast, friendly and familiar with the rules. Extra chips for fast, friendly wait staff!
