I just returned from 6 days playing in the tournaments at Playa Chiquita. I have been playing there 4 years now. Never had I had an issue, nor did I have an issue during this trip. 20% is taken out from the pot with rounding to the nearest 500 pesos. The dealers are EXCELLENT and do a great job of running the game.

To answer another question, it is technically one winner, but we always chop it whether in half or in some reasonable split based on chip counts.

By far, my favorite part of my trip to Sosua each year is my trips to the casino. Everyone there is a pleasure to deal with and Valentina is a top notch manager.

Very sorry to hear anyone had a problem, but over 6 days and about 20-30 tournaments we had no issues at all.

just remember it is the dominican republic, and it is gambling...

there is no watch dog group in the dr......

you may just have to find that place you "feel" comfortable and keep going there..

dont fight the tide..it never works

we all know corruption is prevalent in the DR......it is foolishness to think it doesnt permeate into the casinos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who will punish a Casino raking in millions of $.......... ha ha ha ha

they love golden geese down there...

I felt Comfortable with a regular large casino until I saw the a Pit Boss rig the roulette table, right in front of all the players.

in reality....why not...what will anyone do??

bad bob

get serious Conchman... and go look up the word GREED in the dictionary!

as a side note I was suprised years ago when my brother who was then managing the Cherokee Indians Casino in NC for Harras, told me they are only allowed to make 16 or 17% of the total handled. They had to pay out the rest by law.

I thought the casinos were making like 75% up to that point.....

just goes to show you how MUCH is actually gambled.

Dear mkdomrep,

I’m not a poker player, but I’m glad you posted the incident. I bet the administrator of casino will pay attention to the dealer now. One of the things that I had learned about DR is that unless you make you concerns public they will not pay attention you.

Good luck and I hope that if there is a problem they will correct it.
