They lowered the paytables, in at least the case of Double Double they lowered it from 8-5 to 6-5, skipping 7-5. They also lowered the meter rise from cumulative 4% to 3.2%. And, they eliminated the multipliers. A triple whammy!
I don't blame them for needing to do something. But WHAT were they thinking? Seriously, I would have loved to had been a fly on the wall when they were discussing the proposed changes. I am sure they never asked anyone for advice, they just did it. I mean, it was Frank's suggestion in their ears to start with. One would think they would at least ask him for his ideas on their new changes before they implemented them. So apparently after they went ahead and did their own thing, the machines sat there with NO ONE touching them. lol SURPRISE!!!
After that, probably a combination of confusion and embarrassment I'm guessing, they threw up their hands in ANNOYANCE and said "fk it, let's yank them, they're a pain in the ass anyway."
And Mickey, lest you get the wrong impression from me, I was a huge supporter of the idea and I am very grateful to Frank for his effort. I hope he will not get discouraged.
