The above are basically the general rules that make Nevada Poker playing different from that in clubs situated elsewhere. The general house rule concerning the rake, or house cut, in Nevada casinos is, for obvious reasons: The smaller the game limits, the bigger the house rake. This factor can be borne out by visiting some Las Vegas downtown casinos which, in addition to their big money games, also deal a 50 cent and $1 game in which the posted sign reads, "House rake 1 to 25%."

I don't care if you are the best Stud player in Las Vegas—if you buck a low-limit game with rank suckers and the house takes a 5, 10 or 25% straight rake of the pot from a winner, you must go broke if you play often enough. However, when I consider the valuable casino space required by these Poker rooms and compare the per foot profits to those of such rival table games as Craps, Black Jack, Roulette and Baccarat, I learn that the Poker room earnings are only a small fraction of those of each of the table games. I must then wonder if these Poker rooms could survive with a smaller house rake. My recent Poker survey reveals that the yearly average gross revenue for a Las Vegas Poker table is $145,000.
