Default Re: Casino w/ the Worst Hourly Rake?

Right, we have 30min rakes (not hourly) as well...but I'm saying that the "hourly" total rake comes out to be $12 ($1-2 NLHE) and $16 ($5-10 NLHE).

Still, it sucks ass, because they have a monopoly on the poker business here and we have no choice like in Vegas, CA, or Atlantic City, etc.

Australian casinos were $1 per hand per player for 10/20 limit or 2-5 NL (75c/hand for 5/10 or 1/2). That's 75c American, but that's still worse than anything I've seen in the US.

Treasury Casino in Brisbane AUS was $1/player/hand at 5/10 and capped at $20 for 10/20. Basically one big bet is taken out of every pot.

Yes, and if you stole the blinds the house still makes $10.

True, Canada offers some ok games, but it's a whole other hassel to have to bring your passport/birth certificate info to cross the border, then change US for Canadian dollars, get a hotel, etc. to make that trip profitable...Detroit is still more convenient and efficient overall.

Casino Windsor, right across the river from the Detroit casinos pretty much copies their setup.

Last time I went it was $6(CN)/half, but I've heard on this site that since late last year they've changed it to a rake similar to the the Motorcity/Greektown.

I didn't play at Niagara when I was there, but I seem to remember somebody saying that it was worse there than in Windsor....
