A good gambling operation is inherently "high touch". He defined that as a place where you can go where there is a buzz of human activity, and people pay attention to you if you are a flea or a whale.

I try to treat everyone the same, no matter what their bankroll, to the point of making a point not to look at people's balances most of the time.

That can lead to problems, with high rollers feeling snubbed because I don't go the extra mile to cater to them. One guy was upset that it took over an hour for me to manually process a large withdrawal that he requested on a Sunday afternoon. Another seems upset that I don't buy him steak dinners when he loses, though I think that is mostly tongue in cheek.

I'm sure most whales recognise that all the "free stuff" they get at the big casinos is paid for by the large house edge on the games they play.

JD is pretty different than brick and mortars casinos even if some small aspects of the businesses may be the same

297players registered so far and a prizepool of 2BTC so the equivalent of 0.0067/player and probably 10% of the players will not be here to play it and some will not play it seriously so the value of each ticket is probably closer or higher than 0.01

297 is the number of seats. The number registered is less than half that at the moment I think.

Of the >2000 accounts that qualify for a seat, many are idle and forgotten.

It's quite likely that the game will kick off with less than 200 people playing.

Note also that there is a 0.5 BTC bounty on both my head and Deb's, making the total prize pool effectively 3 BTC.

Doesn't that make the value of a ticket around 0.015 BTC?

Correct
