That is not true on an annual basis.

One year I think Atlantic City did not charge them and the dealers got a small break on the table fee as well as I remember.

But, I'm sure The Stephens Center is cheaper than the other venues so that might well figure into the equation.

However, dealers do choose from the options given by the management team so they are not picking it every year due to cost savings on their end but for all the other reasons mentioned time and time again.
