Table Hold Percentage

Financial glossary · plain-language definition · Financial Statements

The share of the money brought to the table games that the casino keeps as revenue -- table win divided by table DROP (the value of chips players bought), shown as a percentage. Table hold is the casino's take rate on table play, and it is genuinely random over short periods: a few high-rollers on a hot or cold streak can swing a quarter's table hold by several points, which is why a big earnings beat or miss at a Las Vegas or Macau operator is often "just hold." Over long periods table hold reverts to a stable house-edge-driven norm, so the volume metrics (drop) are the better read on underlying demand than the win in any single quarter.
