Poker Zombie
Royal Flush
While casinos make their money by taking a +EV edge on every spin, pull, throw, or deal, poker rooms make their money very differently. I've seen timed rakes where you pay for every 30 minutes of seat time, a regular rake where they pull X% up to $Y from every win, and of course tournaments, where you pay a flat entry fee and play until you leave.
By taking their money "up front", the casino could lower their edge down to 0% on many games. No-Zero Roulette, 100% pay table video poker, 3:2 Blackjack with surrender and all the fixin's, ect.
I doubt any casino would ever do this (poker rooms are not big money earners), and I dont think it would even be legal under some gaming control laws, but I was wondering what the community would think of this concept that I dreamed up at 4am, when I couldn't sleep.
