New Orleans Circuit Event Review
The events at Harrah’s New Orleans for the World Series Circuit event has improved this year compared to previous years. In the past, starting chips stacks have been pretty mediocre. However, this year they have added a substantial amount of chips to the events. The $550 buy in events feature 40 minute levels and 8,000 in chips. The $340 buy in offers 7,000 in chips which give the players plenty of time and chips to play. Even better than the starting chip stacks are the addition of several levels. Levels like 75/150 and 150/300 give players even more play time to exert their skills to claim the top prize. Another nice feature is there are two events each day. The first event of the day starts at noon, and then there is another event that starts at 5 p.m. which gives the players an option to play on an early and late schedule.
Although the general structure of the tournaments are vastly improved, Harrah’s seems to be making cutbacks during the hard economic times. Players no longer get food vouchers when they register for tournaments. Usually they offer a free buffet voucher for all tournaments, but this year they don’t even give a free drink voucher. The weekday tournaments don’t seem to be getting the same amount of players as last year, but towards the end of the week the entrances should pick up. Overall the changes to the event seem to be for the best, and it really gives players great structure for their money.
