Frank, the Palms' new owners are directing the new management team to make changes that'll increase profit margin however possible. They've got a problem with debt, and this is how all casinos initially react because it's easy & tangible. It doesn't matter that the machines now take in less money overall because of less play. The only important parameter right now is a higher margin per machine. They then project profit off of those new numbers and a positive plan is in place.
I know those guys--they'd keep the machines in there if they could.
