one annoying thing is that the room itself doesn't have a cage, so they encourage your first BI (as well as obviously cashouts) to be done at the casino main cage (which can have a lineup), and meanwhile future BIs look to be done at the table they also have an easy peasy old style bad beat jackpot (Aces over Tens fullhouse beaten by quads+, both cards in hand must play), which was up to about $16K (and I'm assuming they drop $1 for) the rake was listed at 10% up to a maximum of $7 (nice, possibly the best rake in Canada?) just like any other 1/3 NL game I've played, everyone seemed to be a pleasant reg and knew each other, although doubtful anyone at my table was capable of beating the rake long term

room staff seemed friendly and accommodating enough so I left and went to dinner, then phoned in at 8:00pm, and by the time I went back to the poker room at 9:15pm I instantly got seated, although by that time there were only 3 tables running and they were all shorthanded (at about ~7 players each) so the key is to phone into the poker room beforehand (902) 496-6166 and get your name on a list (name will remain on the list for 2 hours) I showed up randomly at 6:00pm, put my name on the list, and by 7:00pm I wasn't even close to getting in a game nor was another game going to start any time soon (due to the understandable fear of games getting too shorthanded) due to these time restrictions, I found it tricky getting onto a table when I got there at 6:00pm, there were 4 tables running I believe all of them were 1/3 NL (I think $300 maximum BI), although it is possible one of the tables was a bigger game (2/5 NL I think, and at the very least they had a list of interest for it) according to their website, their poker room is open Wednesday thru Saturday from 4:00pm to 2:00am

Some quick notes as far as my foggy brain can remember: I played in the Casino Nova Scotia (Halifax) poker room on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
