I was thinking about what would cause the massacre while waiting for
my pot roast dinner at Perkins. I think I'm beginning to see the
picture. I haven't been to Reno in awhile, but. Knowing some of
those involved and how strong they are and speculating about the
promotion involved I'm gonna take a wild guess as to what the
scenario was.
Let's say you are a long time Reno resident and a sharp gambler.
Brand X Casino makes a mass mailing to local slot club members. And
let's say they are offering $300 in freeplay for $15,000 coin-in.
You just happen to know that they have a 100% game with extremely low
variance. You can run the action in a few hours. How would you
handle the play? Just go in and run the action, right? Then pick up
the freeplay, right?
But what about your wife? She got the offer too. But she doesn't
know how to play the game. So you play it off for her. She picks up
the freeplay.
But what about your sister? She got the offer too. But she doesn't
know how to play the game either. So you play it off for her and she
picks up the freeplay. Of course you are getting your cut.
And what about your brother? And your mother? And your father? And
your mother-in-law? And your father-in-law? And your sister-in-
law? And your brother-in-law? And all your friends too numerous to
mention?
I would say it's the most likely reason for all the sour grapes on
South Virginia.
