Casino w/ the Worst Hourly Rake?

[theman]

I've often heard from my home casino - Motorcity (in Detroit) - that we have the absolute worst rake anywhere in world! Is yours worst than this?:

$1-2 NL (rake: $12/hour)
$5-10 NL (rake: $16/hour)

Most casinos don't charge hourly rakes on anything less than 30/60 limit and 10/20 NL.

As for the rakes, it varies by casino. For instance Mirage 40/80 is 7 bucks a half hour. The time charges are usually collected every 30 minutes when the dealer changes, not hourly in most places. Detroit is another animal and it's been well documented that the rake sucks there just like California.

Right, we have 30min rakes (not hourly) as well...but I'm saying that the "hourly" total rake comes out to be $12 ($1-2 NLHE) and $16 ($5-10 NLHE).

Still, it sucks ass, because they have a monopoly on the poker business here and we have no choice like in Vegas, CA, or Atlantic City, etc.

Australian casinos were $1 per hand per player for 10/20 limit or 2-5 NL (75c/hand for 5/10 or 1/2). That's 75c American, but that's still worse than anything I've seen in the US.

Both Foxwoods and the Borgata time charge $2-5 NL, so I'd sort of taken that to be the standard for the East Coast. Foxwoods itself is a bit of an anomaly since they also take time for $1-2 NL, but the Borg seems to adhere to AC standards for such things.

I played 100/200 SEK (approx 15/30) in a casino in Sweden. Rake=10% up to max 1 small bet.

Brag: left the LAGtard game up $1000 US in 3 hours

Treasury Casino in Brisbane AUS was $1/player/hand at 5/10 and capped at $20 for 10/20. Basically one big bet is taken out of every pot.

Yes, and if you stole the blinds the house still makes $10.
