I realized just now why the $5 per half hour table charge will be more profitable for the house: with the constant rebuying, there is NO WAY that they will get in the 40 or so hands that we're accustomed to. They have almost certainly tested & figured this out.

OTOH, it would be a great deal in a SH game or under the right circumstances.

There is no way that the tables average 40 hands per hour. I've counted and counted and counted. On average, (and the dealers are expected but are not held to this) each table is expected to get in 15 hands during each of their 30 minute intervals at the tables. Not every dealer reaches this EVEN WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUFFLERS. I invite everyone to count the hands next time they play. Now there are some really really fast dealers but they still only get in about 35 hands per hour and that is on the high side.
