Wrong. Big-name entertainers bring in way more money. Rodney Carrington was/is one of the largest draws of any entertainer out there. That's why his home casino, MGM Grand, pays him over 800thousand for three days work. Only sporting events that bump the casino take are boxing and MMA fights. Look, pool is a MINOR blip on 99% of casino goer's radar.

Pool to a casino is just another convention. Bring people in and they will drop a bunch of cash in the casino plus hotel revenues, rooms, eating and so on. We don't really care what the casinos motive is, we still benefit.
Bet enough and you'll be interested. Game is worthless without something riding on it.
That's true of any game!
Exactly. They'll make $$ regardless of who's there. Unless some casino big-wig is die-hard pool nut you're not going to see them trying to dig pool out of its yrs long doldrums. All they know is $$$ and if outfits like Matchroom can generate the #'s then they'll listen.

Yes, it’s Nick Schulman. Agree they are very good together.
We got a game. 5-5 Yapp to break
Commentators mention that Incardona said Yapp reminds him of the Miz. JJ says Miz had the greatest stroke in his opinion (I agree).
However, Yapp more reminds me of Buddy. Yapp has settled down and really looks good. Nice rhythm, keeps it simple, great stroke.

6-5 Yapp back to back runs first lead.
Dennis looks shell shocked
Yes
Nick says “Yapp … he’s a bad bad man”.
Another break and run 7-5
LOL. Yapp is off to the races and in the zone. This kid is smooth operator and just great to watch, has it all-great decision-making, mental game, shotmaking, safety, good break. His style reminds me of Wu.
Dennis making Yapp wait while he takes a break.
