At $5 per person per half hour, that's $90 to $100 per hour on a table. That would be 20 $5 rakes. They deal about 35 to 42 hands an hour, and it will probably be the high end of that without a rake for the dealer to fuss with. So I think whether we end up ahead or about the same will depend on how loose the games are and how much the drop "would have been." I suspect that in an hour you'd have 10 or so $5 rakes and a bunch of $1 rakes or no rakes. If this is the case, then we're getting hosed and the house just wants to make sure they still come out ahead. But we'll see.

If this all goes through as stated, we should keep an eye on it and see.
