I noticed that all of the steps before 7 seem to have an enormous rake (based on what the website says) and checked them out in the lobby before I said anything and noticed that they all have added cash amounts to make them more in line with appropriate rake amounts. So that's good. Not sure why that's not reflected on the chart on the website you linked. Why would you want them to look worse than they actually are?
Looking more, the actual payouts don't match the listed ones on the website at all. From what you linked, Step 6 should pay out Step 7/Step 7/Step 6/Step 6. In the client, it pays out Step 7/Step 7/Step 7/$31.80. Which also kind of doesn't make sense because why would you have it pay out $31.80 when you could have it pay out a Step 5 ticket and then $1.80 for 5th place?
Prima used to run a similar kind of cash steps a long time ago, and their structure for the final "cash out" step was pretty good. It was a super deep payout structure to discourage pros from direct buying in and encourage more recs to build their way up. Something like 400/300/200/150/100. Also each step was a double up and instead of paying direct tickets would pay out in essentially T$ that could only be used in steps. It was a pretty good system that got a decent amount of traffic (there would be 4-5 of the highest steps going off every day), not sure if you considered something like that.
