Considering minimum wage is like $6.50 an hour, i think $3 per hour per person is fair.

I think the casino has quite a few more costs than just the dealer's salary. Floorpeople, security, management, heating & A/C, taxes, electricity, cards, chip runners, cage workers, etc...plus, they also "need" to turn a profit, or else, why would they be there in the first place? To set up a "fair" game for you & me??? I don't think so.

In some markets, the casino lobby pushes through laws that ban playing poker in home games. Since they have secured a monopoly for themselves then they should have to make it fair. Whether they do or not is another issue.
