I've never played in one so I may be missing an obvious facet of playing Texas Hold'em, but where does the casino make money for hosting players for hours on end? Drink service? Entry fee? House commission?

I think it's the rake, whatever the hell that is.

They get a commission from the young ladies who offer back massages. Seriously look up rake as it is applied to player backed poker games.

They take a rate(a portion of each pot).....Like at a 3/6 table they will rate $3 from every pot.....progressively as the pot grows....for a max of $3 once the pot gets over $20...but different poker rooms have different rules as to how much the rack is and how it is progressively pulled out as the pot grows...
If you figure a poker room with 10 tables always running dealing 25 hands per hour....taking an average rake of $2.50 per hand.....that's about $63 an hour....times 10 tables 630 per hour times 24 hours a day.....$15,120 per day...NO RISK...they now doesn't have to worry about some high rolling getting hot and sticking it to them.....
On the flip side you need to keep those tables full.....and you need 15 or so dealers to service 10 tables....that's why a lot of casinos pay prop players to play so games doesn't break down...

What I would wonder is how much poker players actually bring to the casino's other profit centers.
We know that Bingo Rooms have games on the odd hours but that players tend to hit the slot machines on the even hours.
In Poker Rooms, the rake brings in some money but when you add up comps, tournaments, bad beat prizes, is it a break even situation? Poker players bring spouses who may play the slots or something.
Bingo rooms vary from plus 1.0 percent to minus 1.0 percent.
Poker rooms are ?? percent.

the bad beat and or a monte carlo board do not come out of the casinos profits......If a casino is running any 'bonuses' in there poker room they pull an additional rake every hand for this as well.....for example...the casino I play at is a 3/5 NL game max buy in $500 they progressively pull a $3 rake for the house and a $2 jackpot rake(which is high most place pull $1)...but by law whatever they pull they have to pay back out in bonuses....which just means that place has higher bad beats and monte carlo board payouts
Most poker rooms lose money off poker tournaments that's why they are so fast...like $25 buy in $3 entry fee with 20 min rounds.. and are over in about 2 hours or less...becasue the blinds get so high so fast.....they are just there to draw players in...in hopes they stick around for the 'live' game after they get busted out OR take their winnings to the 'live' game...or to another table game or slots.....
that's why they are normally in the morning......If you just opened up your poker tables in the morning at lets say 11am......you would probably only have 1 or 2 players and they would have to wait to they got at least 4 to start a game...and that's with a dealer sitting in....BUT if you run a tourny every morning at 11am that draws 20=30 players.....they will always get a live game going

I'm not at all familiar with poker rooms or poker room operations but I have seen some ads for poker room prizes that start at a certain amount and climb. I assumed that starting amount was casino seed money and that the escalation was from a rake. As I understand it some of those bad beat jackpots grow to such figures that alot of players keep playing in the hopes that they will be there to qualify for a share of some jackpot distribution.
Tournaments or any freebie are usually designed to get them in early.
I guess in a poker room its always a mixture of cutthroats and vacationers anxious to give money away.

Ya I was a prop player for years after getting out of college when I was still a broke kid LOL......And I still have good friends that are poker room managers....so I know the ins and outs of a poker room....Plus if you are gonna prop and have the casino pay you to play poker for them....its a good idea to be BEST friends with the poker room managers LOL

The thing about being a prop player is that you have to finance your own gaming. You get an hourly wage but you have to use your own money to gamble with.
