i guess to be more clear on my questions/concerns........What is a decent starting pay for a dealer? (i'd have to figure probably 6 at a time if i have 5 tables i'm thinking)What kind of tables do most players consider to be of higher value. i know we are there for the cards, but you have to agree, if you are paying a rake to play in a casino, the whole appearence, including tables, is important to you.What type of rake seems reasonable? Washington states limit is 10%to $5 i believe. i was thinking 10% $4 would be reasonable. $3 seems to be a standard out here, but i think 10% to $4 is OK sin
