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

And don't forget that high rollers sometimes win big at table games and spend that money somewhere else. You can't count on them dropping all their cash in the craps game. The casino gets guaranteed money from poker.

Huh? Sure they do. Sure, any given player X is not guaranteed to go broke, but the whole point is that the casino edge will win out eventually. A casino's hourly expectation is higher per player for any table game than it is for poker.
I don't know that much about this subject but my suspicion is that casino management types really don't like losing out on money they could get otherwise - and people donking off money at poker to nits who won't touch the pit games is a scenario they detest.
