Hey everyone,
Las Vegas, Atlantic City and South Florida may be America’s gaming meccas.

In fact, several of poker’s biggest names, including Phil Ivey and Tom “durrrr” Dwan, have put aside other poker endeavors to give Macau their undivided attention.
In the following article, we not only explore the various poker rooms in Macau, but also talk to three poker veterans with Macau experience.

Nice a new promo flopomania, I just got a deja vu feeling with this , I see you can win 3 cards a day, I see 2x a 3k allin tourney a day.
I scratch already 6 cards , these are all 3k allins and the first one still has to start meaning I will have left 4 tickets of 3k if I reg both, although I prefer allin freerolls on any other kind of form for these freerolls, I really think if you would have this promotion 30 days and the chances are you will scratch 90 times a 3k tickets and will have 30 left that you cant use at end promo.
These things Always gives me a feeling that you lure players into a promotion playing more for nothing.
If I will do this 150 flops a day does this means , these unused tickets expire again after the promo ends ? (this is also seems a reoccuring thing)
I am almost want to make a thread here on CC, to see if other players will face the same with this promo and I really think if you keep offering these promo's and players try to make this daily , you should STATE IN TERMS that chances are very high you will end up with a bunch unused freeroll tickets
