Now the biggest killing a site would make is if they added a "toke the dealer" button.

Haha - I love this idea providing you can see which players take the option.

Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't implemented this yet. Not one single site. Not even in the online casinos. Anyone want to venture a guess as to why not?

This would reduce tilt, which would be a bad thing for most winning players.

I'd love a rabbit hunting cam and struddle option.

The first would make sure people always chaise, cause "zomg, i could have hit".And the second would liven up the games.Hell, i'd even struddle from time to time.

This would be good, if you liked getting 30 hands an hour.

Marvellous idea. And it needn't take any extra time as a player who didn't request a rabbit hunt before the next deal could push a button to request it privately (like mucked cards view in PAHUD).

Honestly this idea was thought of several years ago and serious consideration was given. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Also, the insurance idea as well. But as someone else mentioned, the time delay would be horrible.

Don't get me wrong I don't want the sites taking more money from the fish, but why would the time delay be so bad? Give them like 5 seconds or however long they give people to show a winning hand.

"Take insurance for $xxx?"

Yes - No

What's tough about that?

I'm not going to try to explain it in detail here, but let me just say that your mind would be boggled by what 1 second can generate.
In addition to the time delay, there were several other things talked about that stopped it. Like the fact that a site would all of the sudden have an interest in the outcome of the hand.
