I called to ask about a tournament at a casino just down the street yesterday and was told that the buy-in is $25, and that there's $200 added to the prize money by the casino. So I'm wondering, do casinos hold poker tourneys as an inducement to get players in to play ring games, or do they stand to make money from tournaments, too? I'm sure there's a tournament fee (guessing probably $5 on top of the $25), but why are they throwing in $200?
Will I be a disliked customer if I come in only for the tournaments? My friends usually play a tournament, then after they're eliminated they play half an hour of ring games.
