We went to Dania Jai-alai last Mon., but left without even playing. As much as I used to love jai-alai, I can't stand the place anymore. My husband said the only thing missing were some crack dealers and users, the place is dingy and dirty. I think it's long overdue for Boyd gaming to get off of their butts and either sell the place or remodel.

Is there a reason why they just can't do some minor remodeling and throw the slots in? I really would hate to see us lose jai-alai in Broward.

As for the jai-alai poker. We went for the Monday tourney and every employee seemed very disinterested. The guy signing players up, couldn't even count how many were entered, nor answer a simple question. Sorry, but I haven't heard of buying an add-on BEFORE the tourney and ONLY BEFORE the tourney.

So we decided to wait and see how many would enter and in the mean time, I read the sign that says $20 buy-in for the table games. I even questioned the hostess, who barely spoke English about the buy-in and shes says yes $20.

So for killing time and one seat available I sit down and put $20 on the table. After a couple of minutes the manager comes over and says "You can't play with $20". Real huffy and nasty, while I'm sitting there waiting to play. So I said but your sign and the hostess........, he proceeds to bring me some stupid flyer from the stack of flyers on a table to show me the buy-in. To which I told him, I was sorry for not having read every last stinkin' flyer on a table.

So we left. Adios jai-alai poker and what a stellar way to impress new players.

Now mind you, I don't have a problem with a bigger buy-in and $20 seemed cheap - but I don't need the attitude or to be made to look like an idiot.
