Here's a question:
How do you convince a casino to bring back high meter progressives now that teams are no longer allowed by the IRS?
(I'm not talking about full pay games with high meters, instead casinos should take out a chunk of base return and stick it in a progressive meter instead, for example if the casino offers 9/6 DDB (a 99% return game), they should also offer 9/5 DDB with 1% meter or 8/5 DDB with 2% meter and so on. Worst case it's revenue neutral to the casino, except having a 1% meter generates more play than having the 1% in the base return, which generates more revenue for the casino. Similarly promotion dollars are probably better spent in sweetening progressive jackpots to stimulate competitive action rather than just handing out cash to players on the hopes that they might play. Gamblers are gamblers, they're much happier with a juicier jackpot to go after than a handout.)
