One of the successes of poker casinos at the time, including PS, Pica Roja, was the monthly benefits, including VIP benefits that allow you to get even trips, tournament tickets and a long etcetera... yes, the Moneymaker+ESPN effect helped but the golden age of the "rakeback" helped that growth.

Traditional gaming casinos asked themselves the question, what is happening here, and it was where you saw large traditional casinos put Poker in its game offering, anyway, were just an "experience" but the business model remained.

In any case, royalties are not always everything for a player, sometimes you are in a casino because they work for you, it is that simple.
