Why don't cardrooms spread NL smaller than $1/2?

I once saw somone bring a roll of quarters to a 40-80 game because they only had 50 cent pieces on the table and he liked to tip 25 cents a pot.

For years, St Louis players traveling down to Tunica would bring a roll of quarters to whatever game they were playing, as they thought tipping $1/hand was extravagant. I guess all the boats in STL had coins on the table.

This practice has since stopped. Having just read "Freak-onomics", I feel it is my duty to hypothesize on why this is so. I figure that either:

A. STL no longer uses quarters.

B. The introduction of coinless slots and the death of $1-5 7-stud makes it a lot harder nowadays to get your hands on a roll of quarters in a casino.

i really wish that most cardrooms wouldn't even spread 1/2NL. This way there would be even more donks in the 2/5 nl games.

This doesn't make sense since St. Louis never used real quarters in the casino. It's one of those loss limit states so all .25 slots were played with tokens. I'm trying to think back to my 1-4 stud days and what we used to tip with...

Come to think of it, they'd take rake and make change with the .25 tokens and then you'd tip in the coins. What a bunch of crap. I miss stud but I don't miss the tokens.

If I am a casino manager, I will say like this.

"I don't care what you(players) do in my table, but I need a profit of $5000 in 24 hours" -One tables should pay about $200 every hour.

That means, we need to pay at least $4 every hand. I don't think the players in 0.5/1 or 0.25/0.5 like to pay $4 every hand.

Where is this mythical casino that generates 50 hands an hour?
