The bill on the Governor's desk, SB752, does not mention a time charge.

The bill does not limit the amount of the "rake" or how it is taken. Just that it must be posted.

I went back and looked at the original bill. What most people have been looking at is the NEW bill, which only changes parts of 849.06 if you look at the OLD law you will find
------------
(10) FEE FOR PARTICIPATION.--The cardroom operator may charge a fee for the right to participate in games conducted at the cardroom. Such fee may be either a flat fee or hourly rate for the use of a seat at a table or a rake subject to the posted maximum amount but may not be based on the amount won by players.......
------------
This section has NOT been changed by the new bill.
