And what, may I ask, do you think most of these players waiting to play poker are doing?

I've actually found it surprising how little casinos do to encourage waiting poker players to play the tables or the slots. Often, the layout is such that you cannot go to a pit and still see the waiting list. As a result, players end up sitting around in the poker lobby, not losing money to the casino shareholders.

There are a few exceptions. Borgata recently moved a craps table right outside the poker lobby. Additionally, the Venetian set up a small table games pit right outside the poker lobby, though it's only open at peak times.
