Great response Bob. I have never seen real normal players complain about machines being slow because they normally don't play fast enough for the machine speed to make a difference.
I have a question about something you said in your article though, here is the quote:
"My understanding is that except for emergency fixes, a machine had to have the same pay schedule for the entire gaming day --- which at the South Point is 3 a.m. to 3 a.m."
I have never heard this before, do you have any proof that this is the case? Maybe as a question for you radio show.

I'd be curious about Tom's definition of "pro," "normal player," and "those without a clue." For most people, these definitions change as their skill level improves. Apparently part of the definition of "normal players" includes finding slowed-down machines unplayable! I guess that makes me decidedly non-normal as I certainly played Quick Quads this past Sunday (2x point day) for 8 hours. There's a huge difference in my mind between "I wish they were faster" and "unplayable." Personally I'd rather more casinos had great games slowed down than not have the games at all. Bob
