Can some knowledgeable person explain to me why the casino says a $10 player is more profitable to them than 2 $5 players, and a $25 player is more profitable than 3 $10 players.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about this, but I'm going to throw in a guess anyway. My guess is that the casino can generate more hands per hour by dealing to just one player, rather than two or three.

I think it's a combination of it takes more time to deal to 2 players than one, and 2 players take up more table space than one.

And 2 players consume 2 drinks while 1 player only drinks 1.

Though I bet a $25 player drinking at 2x the speed of an otherwise exact $25 player who is only drinking at 1x the speed is preferable. ;)

OK the first part is easy to explain away. But how about a $25 player being more profitable than 3 $10 players.

Same reason. 3 players take up more spots and it takes more time to deal to them. You can get more hands to the one guy, and free up 2 more spots for others to lose money on.

Apart from saying this again, do you have the numbers, facts and figures to show exactly how much the casino win from 1 $25 player and how much is the equivalent win from 3 $10 players. In other words show me the figures and I will beleive you.

Offhand,1 player at $25 will get about 100 hands in an hour $2500 in play
3 $10 players will get about 75 hands in the same time. $750 an hour X 3=$2250.After 4 hours Player A has wagered $10,000 while playersB-D have wagered$9,000.They would need to play another half an hour to get close.:cool2:
But the $10 players will each want a buffet for 2,while the $25 player will expect a room and a steak dinner,with a nice bottle of wine.:)

I don't have any figures, so I guess don't believe me then! :)
