Without Locals, the "local" casinos will die. Tourists come and go, Locals FEED the casinos with their dollars. I am not asking for 110% machines, just a chance to lose my money slowly.
Tourists are here for limited time and can afford to lose quickly, us locals are here ALL the time, and want someentertainment for our dollars.
Yes I call the youngsters who are buying the $5 cupcakes for sale at the casino coffee shop dumb. Not to mention the $15 fancy drink, or $4 bagel and butter, or $6 muffin. The casinos do fine with their bottom line with these youngsters who seem to have unlimited funds.
But you won't see many locals paying these prices. Even with comps, it is ridiculous the prices that are charged.
So yes I think the casinos should market to locals, not just tourists. Leaving 3 or 4 machines with decent pay tables out of the 100's they have in the casino can't hurt them THAT much can it?

Horrors! Maybe they are coming to party, dine, get dressed up and be entertained rather than stalking the various casinos complaining that these great hotels are no longer supplying the retired locals with the best odds on a gambling machine. Oh, and they, as I mentioned before, are spending money while they do these things.
