Casino poker rooms offer patrons the opportunity to play in public poker games. Often these are called brick-and-mortar (B&M) cardrooms to distinguish them from online cardrooms. Unlike most other casino games, where the player almost always has the worst of it, in poker the house makes its money by taking a predetermined cut of the pot called a rake.
Traditionally casino poker has been played in the US gambling centers of Las Vegas and Atlantic City as well as in California. More recently cardrooms have also flourished in other locations, including many more in the United States and others in Europe. American Indian gaming has led to more public poker in the Eastern and Western US, and the history of riverboat gambling has been used as a rationale for establishing more gaming facilities in the Midwest and South-Central US.
