How does a casino make money from a poker game? Every other game is played against the casino – with the odds stacked in the casino’s favour. But in poker players complete against other players.

Answer 1

The casino generally takes a rake from each pot.

Alternatively I’ve also been at tables where every dealer change, all players on the table would have to put out a set amount, maybe $10 or so. So this way it brings in about $150 per hour.
