Best and Worst Features of Mandalay Bay Poker Room
The televisions from the sportsbook may be seen from many seats in the poker room. The ticket counters are convenient as well.
Mandalay Bay often takes a $2 jackpot drop. It is also unfortunate that parking must be paid for, and the parking deck and tram are a long walk from the poker room. There is usually only a 1/2 no-limit Hold’em game running.
The only regular cash game found at Mandalay Bay is 1/2 no-limit Hold’em. It has a buy-in range of $100 to $300.
A 2/5 game with buy-ins of $200 to $2,000 may run on weekends, though this is rare.
Mandalay Bay rakes 10% up to $5. It also takes a $2 jackpot drop to fund promotions.
Cash game players clocked in with an MLife card receive $2 an hour in comps that may be used at many outlets on the property.
Some outlets will deliver directly to the poker table. Players that give 75 hours of cash game action in a year receive free parking.
Poker comps may not be transferred to other MGM Resorts casinos.
Mandalay Bay offers three tournaments daily. The times are 11 am, 3 pm, and 10 pm. The buy-in is $45+$20.
All tournaments are no-limit Hold’em. Players start with 10,000 chips. Blinds start at 100/200. Blinds go up every 15 minutes. Late registration lasts through the first four levels. There are no guaranteed prize pools for these tournaments.
This structure is a turbo format. The starting level is much higher than most other tournaments with a similar chip stack. Levels go up every 15 minutes when competitors often have 20-minute blinds. Players should consider the format when paying $20 in juice to enter.
A high-hand bonus runs 24 hours a day. The player must use both hole cards to qualify. The payouts are as follows.
