PokerStars is taking aim once again at the cash game ecology, this time with 'active waiting lists' that will award seats to games in a new, semi-random fashion.
- Bellagio poker room is open My thoughts after playing 1/3 NL for a couple hours. I was looking on Bravo! App around 7am eastern time and they had no games/waiting list on the board.

- Poker is no longer just a game of cards, of bets, of chance or ability. In short, poker is no longer a game. It has become normalized in our society as an accepted game and, even so, on everyone's lips, it remains a great unknown.
Active Waiting List will get rid of 'first come, first served' seating and instead throw all players on a waiting into a pool and draw one when a seat becomes available. The draw will be weighted to those who have been seated at the same stakes the longest.
In a post published Monday on PokerStars Blog, Luke Staudenmaier explained the company's rationale.
'Our latest feature, Active Waiting List, is all about making the game fairer and the experience better for most players,' he wrote. 'We created this new system for those who like to play cash games with us and it is primarily designed to combat predatory behavior and level the playing field. It achieves this goal by making it more difficult for some players to seek out our less experienced or more recreational players.'
How It Works
Previously on PokerStars, anyone who wished to join a waiting list could click the corresponding button and be in line for a game.
That's changed as of Monday.
Now, a player who wishes to join a waiting list must already be seated a table of the same stakes and style. And, in an effort to make things fair, all of the players who join the list will have a chance at an open seat.
However, the draw won't be completely random. Instead, it will prioritize those who have been seated and playing — not sitting out — the longest at those stakes.
'This system has been designed to encourage engagement and action, while deterring players whose only objective is to join games with weaker opponents,' the blog post says. 'Now, instead of passively sitting on a waiting list until the right seat becomes available, that player will need to play in order to remain on the waiting list.'
The general idea is meant to mimic live 'must-move' tables with the added twist of the random element to make it so players can't simply take the most profitable seat by being first to click on it.
Ongoing Efforts to Address Ecology
The implementation of Active Waiting Lists is the latest step to target poker players who only wish to play when a recreational player is seated and refuse to battle other regulars, popularly termed 'bum-hunting.'
Last year, PokerStars took the long-awaited step of banning the use of seating scripts, which enable players to instantly sit at a desirable table when a targeted opponent takes a seat. Scripts have been a problem for years, with PokerNews covering the issue as far back as 2014.
Rival site GGPoker has been making headlines recently with theirultra-aggressive approach to the issue.
PokerStars looks to be taking a more measured approach, with Active Waiting Lists the latest attempt to curb targeting of specific subsets of players.

An armed, masked suspect robbed the Bellagio poker cashiers cage at gunpoint late Tuesday afternoon, and authorities are still searching for the bandit as of late Tuesday night.
According to a report from CBS' local Las Vegas affiliate, the attack occurred a little after 3:45 p.m. and involved a lone robber with a mask and a handgun. The suspect demanded money and then fled in a silver Chevy Cruze with Nevada license plates reading 37D147.
One of the first reports out of the poker world came from the Twitter account of bracelet winner Randy Ohel. The noted mixed game player apparently stumbled onto the crime scene moments after the robbery when he showed up for a cash game. Ohel said the suspect made off with an unknown amount of loot from a cashier's drawer and then exited via the valet on the north side of the property, facing Flamingo Rd.
Ohel didn't believe anyone had been harmed and said it happened 'very quickly.'

James Woods, playing poker a stone's throw from the targeted cage, said hardly anyone even realized the robbery was occurring. He praised Bellagio staff for calmly handing over the money to help make sure nobody got hurt.
Doyle Brunson also reported being present at the Bellagio during the robbery, saying the high stakes room housed about $200,000 in cash mere yards away that went untouched.
Las Vegas police are reportedly looking for a white male driving the aforementioned vehicle.
It's not the first time the Bellagio has been the target of an armed robbery. Back in 2011, the infamous 'Biker Bandit' made off with $1.5 million after targeting and successfully robbing a high-limit craps table at the luxurious Las Vegas casino. The perpetrator, who turned out to be one Tony Carleo, foolishly attempted to sell the pilfered chips via TwoPlusTwo and found himself on the business end of a nine-year prison sentence.
UPDATE: On Thursday, Las Vegas police released surveillance video of the armed robber at the Bellagio poker cage and making his way out of the casino.

According to reports, the unknown man had stolen a 2011 Chevrolet Sedan, tied up the owner of the car, and fled the scene in the stolen vehicle after executing the robbery inside the casino. The car was later recovered with the owner unharmed, and the robber is still at large.
This is a developing story.
