World Series of Poker officials have introduced even more ways to reduce Rio queue times after adding credit card payments for $1,500 events and under, online registration, and Fast Track ticket kiosks.

When you have over a 100,000 people traipsing through your property looking to compete in the greatest poker festival on earth, it’s imperative that you pull out all of the stops ensuring those eager to be pleased leave pleased.

Despite an incredible job by WSOP officials, that didn’t happen last year. The main gripe being long waiting times at the cash desk thanks to archaic management systems.

In a way, the WSOP reminds me of the British Railway (BR) system. There is a warm fuzzy feeling about it. It’s an institution; a historical event that conjures up respect.
