Re: let\'s get the facts straight: poker makes money

Contrast this to the small poker rooms these establishments have (17 at Fallview, 12 at Rama). About 5 to 8 hours out of every day there are lengthy waiting lists, representing income lost by the casino because people who want to play poker (and I agree with Al that the poker rooms are profitable) have to wait.

I think that the problem is not the length of the waiting list, but the average length of a wait before people on the list get seated. I've seen rooms have 3 tables at a given limit and start a new table as soon as they get ten names on the list without evaluating how likely players are to leave the existing games so that thirty minutes later you have four tables whining that they each have two empty seats.
