You're anthropomorphizing the house just a little bit. Why do you care if an NPC makes money? It doesn't affect you or anyone else.
The house doesn't need to make money to stay in business. It has no expenses. It doesn't pay its workers, it doesn't pay rent, or taxes, or anything else.
It's just a few lines of code, some levels, some graphics, and a database, probably.

$100 fee & the house could lose $25000 $50000 and so on if on 50/50. You're running the risk of millions being pumped into the economy. Can you really not see that?

It's only a sinkhole for the player vs player tables as they make a profit each time a player plays on the table, they get the fees. Different story when it's player vs NPC..

Using this as an example from NPC $25,000 table. Fee is $300. If you take the fee into consideration you now have a chance to win.. $24,700.

So the house loses everything?

A player grabs the table and wins $25,000 of the house. Do you think because the house has a fee of $300 that they're taking money out of the economy? Obviously not, the house just pumped $24,700 into the economy. Now with it being 50/50, there is an even chance he can win again. So he could now walk away with $49,400. He could go again and win. Hell he could do this 10 times and win all of them. It's even odds remember. This is to much of a risky sinkhole that could potentially mess things up even more.

You don't get it, do you? By the NPC making money takes money out of the economy. Simply put, there is to much money out there. These systems are put in place to take money out. "NOT EVERYBODY IS SUPPOSE TO BE A WINNER." Gambling is luck. Do you really think casinos and betting systems irl are 50/50, hell no!? It cant be... It cant and doesn't work like that, it just cant?

Same applies to this game.. It's a sinkhole.. Nothing more, nothing less. Gambling is fun... You might lose more than you win, hell you are going to lose more than you win but it's the losing part that makes you chase the money, sometimes you win it back, sometimes you win more than you put in.. Sometimes you lose it all but it's fun.

That's gambling.

Now... If you wanna talk about systems that player vs player then it can be 50/50. The house can still benefit from fees as nobody is competing against the "house".

60house/40player. The house benefits more and then it becomes more realistic gambling.
