The poker room makes its money from food and drink sales. I am not sure if these are the types of poker rooms you are talking about but here where I am they are usually pubs that have a poker game. I think the fact that the pub takes no cut of the game and that it is done like a tourney (sit and go's and multi table) make the loophole. The bar does it to bring in people to buy drinks and food They advertise them here on TV but it is usually where some of the pot goes to a charity that might be the loophole too.
