Good points. If these casinos have lengthy waiting lists for much of the day all the time, they should expand their poker rooms. Seems obvious to me.

The thing is, poker is here to stay. Poker players want to play poker, and they will play at your casino or someone else's. I don't know many that are willing to play blackjac or slots just because there are long lists. Most will just go somewhere else.


Much of the time small poker rooms will be empty, but there's often a reason other than "nobody wants to play poker." Usually small rooms are buried in the back, far from the main casino action, far from anyone stolling casually by; a crappy little room in a lousy location, staffed by underpaid mopes who don't give a darn anyway. These rooms have been given the perfect recipe for failure.

In contrast, a small room with a great location and enthusiastic, friendly staff can be very successful.

Essentially you will get out of something only what you put into it.
