* Maximum rake at some casinos is as low as $1.50-$2.00 per pot (ask the cardroom manager or floorman for
information on game rules and house cut). With thirty to forty hands played per hour, even that low rake
permanently removes $45-$80 per hour or about $1000-$2000 per table per day. Allowing for lower cuts and
slack periods, the amounts removed from a low-rake table with four or five players averages $500-$1000 per
twenty-four-hour day. The average casino poker table extracts from its players an estimated $850 per day or
about $300,000 per year. (Also see the second footnote to Table 32.)
The buy-in (the minimum cash value of chips a player must buy to enter the game) is usually ten times the limit
of the first bet.
