Growing Kobe steaks on trees would be nice too.

i really dont see how adding 500 sq. ft. to poker room to accommodate 1sq. ft. bigger poker tables is gonna cut into the daily multi-million dollar profit of a casino ffs.
Well I'm sure some accountant could explain it to you better, but a slot machine has a footprint of about 4 square feet, plus space for the customer, so call it 10 square feet. That's 50 slot machines that 500 sq ft would replace. For no increase in revenue from poker - just bigger tables.
The average slot machine makes about $220/day, so that's $11,000 a day, total, that the casino would give up in DAILY slot revenue, so that bigger poker tables would generate exactly $0 more dollars.
I mean - how much more spelling out do you need here?

im not looking from a perspective of a business owner anyway im looking from a perspective of a poker player and i dont like having to belly up to the feed trough like a hungry pig that has to elbow his way in to wait to be slopped with the grace of a card game. its that kind of thinking that has killed the aspect of having fun at a poker game.
Congratulations. You are at the bottom of the casino's priority list.
