why are the good promos always for games i never play

Yeah, because poker promos get abused to death the second they’re even half decent. That’s the boring obvious reason. Not “theory,” not banners, just a room looking at how fast a promo turns into guys mass-tabling, chip-dumping, soft-playing, or sitting every cheap table farming points like rats in a feed bin. I played one hand-race promo a while back and the whole place turned weird for two days. Same names everywhere, trash action, people snap-folding junk spots they’d normally play because they were chasing whatever the promo meter wanted. It made the games worse, fast. Slots can spray confetti at anybody. Poker promos change player behavior immediately. That’s why they keep it stingy and ugly, and yeah, I ignore most of it too.

Yeah, because game theory matters and poker players don't bleed enough for the promo math, OBVIOUSLY

Yeah, same. It’s slots because they can dress it up like a gift and still keep you on a leash with goofy wagering and “eligible games” buried three clicks down. I learned that the dumb way chasing a 50 free spins thing once, half the decent slots didn’t even count right and the rest paid like a vending machine with a grudge. Poker and live dealer promos are tiny because those players actually notice when a deal smells off. I ignore the banners too now.
