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

Poker doesn't make money. Fact.

Really? What do you base this fact on? I've seen financial reports that indicate that poker makes a pretty consistent and steady ROI for the casinos, even after overhead and re-appropriation of funds.
Again, per sq/ft does it make as much as some other things? No.
But is it a draw? Does it bring people to the casino? Does it add to the casino's overall appeal?
I just don't get the arguement that poker in casinos is not a good/moneymaking idea. The numbers don't lie, first off. Second off, you can't discount the lure of the game, and what other "bells and whistles" casinos throw at you.
It works, right? Trust me when I say this... and this should smack you in the face with common sense...
Casinos are not in business because they waste time, money, or space with things that do not make them more profitable.
