Also I think something that has been totally over looked in that article and in this thread is...... While the poker player may not be making the house rich he is very often bringing along a wife, girlfriend or other friends who do not play poker but instead plays slots and table games. How many times have you been at the poker table and seen the wife come up to the husband, obviously ready to leave but hubby is having too good of a time playing poker, so he peels off a few $20's or even a $100 and tells the wife to go play some more slots. She disappears for about an hour and shows back up with her hand out. He gives her some more money; repeat.
I know that not every poker player brings along a slot player every time they come to the casino but it does happen alot of the time and usually it's the slot player who is forced to stay longer than they wish and dump more money into the house's back pocket. That's got to be worth considering.
