The Plague

The plague is what happens when the table goes dead. There's no action, the game is going slow, it's getting boring, and worst of all, you're not making any money. The plague infects many tables at many times. It can last for a great long time, killing the table, or it can be a short period of little action, setting the table up for a rebirth. The plague is like a force of nature. Seldom can you stop it or avoid it. Your only real recourse is to try and ride it out and be in a position to capitalize on its aftermath. This requires careful play on your behalf, however.
