If you are unconcerned with initially turning a profit ideas others already expressed that should draw the initial game.... hire friendly staff, dont charge rake under six people, and have a known game start time. Thinking outside the box of poker,fun and entertainment are the keys to keeping the "whales" in your casino. Hire that celebrity who makes people want to come back to play him again, and don't care if they win or lose. Make the room more enjoyable to the company the whales bring. A lot of these men would play poker instead of leaving your casino for a blackjack table elsewhere if there were attractive women interact with. Have a comfortable seat for their girlfriend to watch them play. Give the spouses of these players coupons to your stores while they play. They shop, he plays, everybody is happy. Make sure to have your friendlist cocktail waitresses at the table. Another crazy idea would be to have a comedian hired to interact with the players at the higher limit tables for a few hours a week. No poker rooms in Vegas entertain. Think of ways to keep the high limit tourists entertained and you will keep the table full of fish. Make the poker room a memorable experience.
