When I started playing, maybe 4 years ago, it was 90% Asian players, one table per casino. Now there are 3-6 tables per casino and the types of people playing is much more diverse.

WHen I picked it up in 1998, it was more like three tables (or more at bigger or downtown casinos) but they werent always adjacent. The Frontier, god rest its soul, had a sweet three buck table that I ruled in law shcool. I would say it was like half to two thirds Off the Boat Chinese people. The hardcore, skinny, chiansmoking kind. I always played at Barbarry Coast- my favorite casino.
