I recall a page on that had just a table that listed the speed that casinos use for various table games for calculating revenue/comps, etc..

It had a note that said something like "I received this information from a casino manager"

And that's basically all the page had.

I've been searching for this page, but can't seem to find it again using Google or the site search.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks but this is not it. These are from the Kilby book, and are way too high.

Wizard has another page somewhere, where he credited the source as a casino employee.

the below used to have that information and other information that has been cut off now due to page modification. I would say this was very careless modification, as I think we all know it was not necessary to remove information to cram in ads. If I was the Wizard I would be sick to see this.

It also had info on what a casino mgr would assume was the 'theo' an average player at a certain game would have
............... see downthread, I may be wrong that the info was removed. It is a different looking page

This is it! It's the table "Hands per Hour and Average House Edge".

I guess I thought it was it's own page because of the ads!

Thank you!

The information still appears to be there, under the heading "Hands per Hour, House Edge for Comp Purposes". (scroll down. More.)
May the cards fall in your favor.

OK, well, maybe I am finding some of it. I'm not sure some of it hasn't disappeared but maybe I should withdraw that claim until I am sure. I went back and crossed out the claim

now that you've got me on this subject, I'm not too impressed with the multiple new cartoon characterizations of the Wizard on WoO. He looks different on each one! I think it may be AI generated and the bot just makes a new one each time.

this one is ok



If I was the Wiz I'd hate this one

Oof, no kidding.
I don't think you're supposed to show the cards in your hand like that.

A friendly dealer is allowing cooperation amongst players?

I think his flush beats my All Red, so I probably won't call.

You mean this page. Scroll to the bottom or search on "Hands per Hour and Average House Edge." I know it can be hard to find things on the site, including for me.

As to the cartoon images, I have nothing to do with it. I'm not going to be around forever and eventually the Wizard sites will eventually have to move on without me.
