100% agreed.
I definitely understand that 2/5 and the 10/20 games at minimum would drastically increase the rooms image and I would LOVE to play in a room like that, but then again .. is that what the house really wants?
Some seats are just straight up gross according who you are sitting next to, across from, etc. Not that I'm saying the high limit tables aren't, but it's less likely. And has higher odds of people actually showering.
I digress, but would it be rudimentary to argue that they are using the poker room to get players into the building? What if somebody comes in and wins $400 then blows it on Blackjack in an hour .. The house would have only made $10 off that player on 2/5, but instead they made $400. I'm sure since this is a poker forum many will argue that they just come in to play poker and then leave, but I'm sure many plan to do that. Then try and get even on craps, roulette, slots, horses, whatever your fancy is ..
Not to mention people bring friends. Friends might gamble. They might drink. Eat. Lotta of options. Lot of options ..
Thoughts?
