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

You guys also forget that casinos do not own the shuffling machines and lease them. Those shuffling machines are outrageously expensive and cost the casino as well. I believe the standard automatic shuffler has a market value of 16k PER shuffler. Obviously its leased but its still an additional cost. (The same applies to other games though with auto shufflers)

True, but the shuffling machines increase hands per hour and therefore rake (or drop and hold for table games). The casinos wouldn't use them if the additional rake generated didn't offset (and then some) the cost of leasing them.
