Most Incredibly High Rake?

[frommagio]

This may be the highest rake ever - don't know. Can you top it?

Last week, I played on the Caribbean Princess Cruise ship. They were using one of those 10-player computer tables (ughh). The game was either limit $2-4 or $3-6. The rake was 10% uncapped ($1 taken from the pot at every $10 increment).

The woman running the casino claimed that (paraphrasing) "10% is a fair rake; in Vegas and CA and other places it's 40%". Nobody was able to convince her otherwise, and the table sat mostly empty throughout the week.

On the topic of computer tables: she said that she preferred those, and planned to install more of them. I asked why, and she said that she was tired of players complaining when she was dealing. Complaining about what? Why, complaining about the rake! Somehow she couldn't put 2 and 2 together.

She was a very nice lady, and I'm totally convinced that she really wasn't aware of how far off the mark her rake really was.
