Frankly, with the vast numbers of people from Maine to California blowing their money on 91% penny slots, 6-5 BJ, Hit 17 8 deck BJ, double zero roulette, Prop bets at craps, Big 6 Wheel, 7-5 JOB 50 play (just seen being played for max coin at Taj Mahal), keno, lottery, 2-4 poker with punishing rakes and more the casinos are a hell of a lot shrewder than given credit for.

Look at all they are doing in terms of inventing new games? Ultimate X, Double Super Times Pay, etc., why not talk IGT and Ballys into doing it somehow? They're the geniuses, after all.

Think of all the times that casinos have installed these newer games, but so often they insist on installing them with abysmal 97% pay tables, so that the fancy new VP games sit idle most of the time. Is it logical for the manufacturers to spend all that money to develop a new game, and for a casino to spend a lot of money to buy the new machines, only to set them up so that nobody except the most clueless of the clueless will play them - probably playing one coin / one line at a time at minimum denomination? Of course not, but casinos are not known for their logic.
