its usually 10% of the pot up to $5 max some casinos have a $4 max rake others have a $3 max rake. Rake as meaning if the pot is 45bucks and you have a $4max you (RAKE) 4 whites in and exchange the 4 white from the table to the change well and take out a $4 and then you drop that in the drop box thats the houses rate for dealing poker they dont make anything other than the %10 of every hand. its a lot calculate it up!
