To further my point Sltr...let me give you an example of how poker used to be ran in this town.
The house did not take a rake, they had what they called "snatch games."
Right in front of the dealer's tray, there was a hole, the dealers would just take as much as they could out of the pot and hope the player's didn't pay attention.
A good friend of mine started dealing here about 30 years ago, but she came to Vegas to play poker professionally.
Anyway, her first day here she won the biggest pot of her life, but lost money due to the snatch.
That was when she realized she needed to be on the other side of the table to make any real money.
They used to run other rigged games here too, but have realized that there's not reason to they have an edge, and the suckers that play slots and table games regardless of this knowledge will continue to play.
