Well I don't play 98.5-98.9 games either. I'm just wondering what the big incentive is for casinos to put in 99+ games that come close to break-even when including benefits and when played by competent players. Especially when the casino has already made a conscious effort to remove them. Sure, I think they're going to be around for a long time still, but as I've noted elsewhere the game is changing and will continue to change. I'm looking at these Franknbob machines like they represent "hope" for the future.
