The dealers reduce the rake automatically. You play short there, apparently care about the rake, and haven't noticed this? I'm pretty sure they reduce it at six players for flop games.

They did in the past. Do they still reduce now that the bigger games have a jackpot drop? Most houses use the "We could reduce the rake, but you wouldn't qualify for the jackpot" line to induce the gamb00lers/dreamers to say "No, I want to continue to pay $4+1 4 handed because I might win that jackpot on the next hand!!!!11one1!".

Yes

What exactly is the justification for charging a higher rake in a lower stakes game? It seems to me that, if anything, it should be the other way around. In Atlantic City the games that have a time charge have a higher charge at higher-stakes games.

I haven't played there since the rake increase (I will after my nap today), but I'm sure that they will continue to offer a rake reduction. The jackpot is a separate drop. They take $1 from every pot over $15 when there are four players or more, and two- and three-handed games are not eligible for the jackpot.

Back when, I believe that Vegas rooms raked $3 for low-limit games and $2 for higher-limit games. The low-limit games tend to be populated by tourists who play slower and don't really notice the rake as much. The bigger games will have more local pros/nits. They play faster and will whine more about the rake. I'm guessing both games were approximately equally as profitable for the casinos.

Before the increase, Canterbury's games all had a maximum rake of $4, except for the smallest stud games--$4/8 and below--which had a rake of $4.50. Stud games move slower, and the $.50 chips just happened to be in circulation in those games.

It is simple to figure out how much a young man shall pay the life-time rake, who began poker at 25 and finish poker 55 and continue playing 1000 hours every year (say, as a regular player) The $5 rake is equivalent to hourly rake of about $25, for estimated 45 hands per hour. He pays $25K per SINGLE year and WILL PAY total $750K in his 30 years of poker life, except his tipping to dealers. Therefore, after Commerce raised from $4 to $5 in January 2007, the young man pay from $600K to $750K as his total life-time rake. So $1 increase shall take $150K more from his asset in his life.

15/30 & 30/60 still have a $4 rake, but they have added the j/p drop. This was requested, believe it or not, by the players. Bleh.

The rake at all other limits, as has been posted here before, is now $5. Expect that the 15/30 & 30/60 rakes will also go to $5 in the future.

And of course they hit the jackpot on Monday, during the time it was doubled (to $80k+) at the 30/60 game.
