Every poker dealer in Elizabeth, IN, including myself, is being terminated as of 10/1. This leaves me with several questions. I've listed my top 5 below. Feel free to answer and ask you own.
Please let me know if you are aware of any other property that is doing this to their poker dealers. i.e. Terminating furloughed dealers as of 10/01.
Caesars/Eldorado must have an agreement signed by 12/31 to sell the Elizabeth property, as well as Evansville and Hammond. There are rumors that Churchill Downs, who has created a faux casino on Poplar Level in Louisville with their Historical Racing machines along with a still under construction 300 million dollar hotel/casino on the Downs property, is interested in purchasing the Elizabeth property. There was also a rumor that MGM is interested in all 3. This would make sense as it would be a good opportunity for them to get into the Indiana/Illinois market, especially since they already have their Indiana sports betting license. Ads are all over about free bets for joining MGM's app. Long story short, I plan on moving if there is no commitment to poker from the new owner of the Elizabeth property. I seriously doubt Churchill Downs would commit, however, do you think MGM would commit to having poker if they purchased the property?
Caesars announced yesterday that they were purchasing William Hill Sports Book. My poker room manager took a job there months ago, as he was already running the sports book at Elizabeth and I assume been offered the job back when this deal was in motion. To what degree does this represent a shift towards sports betting and away from poker for Caesars in Indiana but also in the US as a whole?
Covid has essentially grinded live poker to a halt in much of the country, except for a few rooms here and there in just a handful of states. The airline industry is terminating or furloughing tens of thousands of employees as of 10/1, the same date we are being terminated. As far I as know, none of the 60+ poker dealers/floors/duals in Elizabeth were receiving health benefits since August 1. I am not aware of any cost to the company to keep us furloughed, as opposed to terminating everyone. Is this some sort of valuation tactic for quarter 4 or the end of the year with the IRS? Does X amount of employees equal Y amount of deduction?
This year has been rough for poker dealers and players everywhere. Please let me know your thoughts on the overall future of live poker. What does it look like?
