I wonder if he believes that or was intentionally lying.

No one in management at Bally's/Paris knows anything about poker (maybe 1 or 2 floor people know something but nothing above them).

However in rooms such as Bally's/Paris which are primarily tourist rooms with very few local regulars the simple fact of the matter is that a $5 rake is probably a money maker. Few tourists will even notice and fewer care.

I know all of that is true. I just wondered if he didn't bother to learn what historical rakes were or if he was making stuff up saying the rake hasn't gone up in 20 years. I think in rooms like that a $5 rake is a money maker. I have seen a lot of rooms that would not be hurt by an increase in rake because a lot of the casual players don't even know that the casino takes money out of the pot.
