it's not a 5% commission...sheesh...come on...they do charge .50 cents a hand at blackjack, 3 card poker, bacarrat etc...not a 5% commission...and yeah, even .50 cents a hand is a ripoff...I was at winstar about a month ago and actually walked out up 800 playing mostly slots...what was funny was walking out, i threw 200 bucks on one hand of black jack....A-Q...lol...got paid, tipped the dealer 15 bucks, thanked htem for the play and left...that's the ONLY way to play blackjack at those casinos, one big hand. Otherwise the 50 cent ante's are gonna kill ya....
