Here you will be able to find our specific rake structure and explanation for all of Tower Gaming's Poker games. We will explain what rake is, and its presence in each game we offer. You will never have to wonder how rake is calculated, its all right here for you.
What is Rake?
Rake is an amount of money taken by the House as a fee for hosting the game. Rake is taken from the pot depending on the size of the pot, the stakes in play, and the number of players participating.
However, if there is no flop, (or if fourth street in stud games is not reached), no rake will be taken.
Note: rake is collected from the pot rather than directly from player's funds, so the rake amount shown below actually reflects the contribution of the table as a whole, and not the share any single player contributes.
