This actually raises the vig on all games astronomically making it impossible to ever really get ahead(you pay for play so it's one dollar from you when win and one dollar from you when you lose on top of the actual amount you lost for the bet-yeesh.) Instead, another player must bank and the casino makes its money by charging a 'fee' each hand for the right to play. Also note the CA legislators did not want the casino's with big bankrolls to 'fight' against the little guy.
