Re: let\'s get the facts straight: poker makes money
Good post, Al. A little ranty but none-the-less good. Poker makes money or it wouldn't be on the casino floor. Some rooms post better returns per foot than others, Bellagio being a case study of excellence. The gaming experience involves many different games ranging from the sterile(slots) to high contact (table games). If casino floor design was strictly guided by revenue per foot there would be only slots and nasty payout slots at that. If poker or any other game were a money loser, it would not be part of the business. There's no need for a loss-leader in gaming. It's too easy to run things profitably.
And they can make money at the swimming pool...drinks and food sales.
