Do casinos take a fee every time you sit down in a casino and play the poker tables? BTW im not talking about rake.

Not in most places for low stakes. In many high limit ($50/$100 NL for example) rooms, they charge a small hourly rate in place of rake, but that practice is almost unheard of at any stakes that people on this forum would play.

I'm pretty sure they charge an hourly fee (instead of rake) at Foxwoods for 1/2 NL.

at the Taj there is roughly and 10 dollar an hour fee for 10/20. 5/10 and below is raked.

NW Indiana - Trump (for now) poker room:
The NL games have you "pay time", in place of a rake. This amounts to $7 per half-hour for the $200 max NL game.

$5 every half hour! Cripes. So on a ten player table that's $80 an hour. The dealer gets maybe $20 an hour - the overheads can't count for much more than another $30... and all the while they are buying drinks.
Good racket that one.
The cash games at my local casino are self dealt with no charge. If you want to get cash chips from the desk and sit at one of the empty tables and start a game then you can.

i'm currious if anyone know... in general... does the hourly system cost the player more in the long run than the rake system?

30 hands/hour*$3/hand = $90/hour.
9 players*$10/hour = $90/hour.
There won't be much a difference to the casino. However the hourly rate system will put a tight player at a disadvantage.

right... it almost forces looser play, insomuch as you're basically being charged for every hand regardless of whether or not you're actually in it.
very interesting.

Hey...where'd that extra $20 go???

Posted Sun Jan 22, 2006 2:35 am GMT by groton

Here is Brisbane, Australia its $1 to recieve cards with $2.5/5 Blinds, limit that is and there isnt any NL HE. on saturdays there is a $1000 buy in half pot and thats it. $1 per hand then blinds makes it around $50 an hour to play
Posted Mon May 22, 2006 2:53 am GMT by JohnnyCache
a 20% ante in a ring game with blinds?
Dang son
That's like the tourney I play in on occasion where the blinds actually DOUBLE instead of going up limits...
