HOw can you say Palms are in financial trouble when that had generous (LOL) WONDERFUL swipe and win yesterday where you won ONE LUCKY PENNY!
Yes 1 CENT was the prize for most folks.
A few won 10,000 pennies, ($100), but everyone was getting their lucky PENNY. For most it was not so lucky, LOL.

As for the half dollar deuces, that was probably a reasonable exercise given the poor financial situation, presumably they either ran bad in favor of the players or the caliber of players was better than the casino expected or a Chinese or Russian team moved in. What the Palms should do is put in better progressives, like 9-6 double double bonus with 1% meter or 8-5 double double bonus with 3% meter. Those would bring in business and cost the casino nothing, they may even make money on them due to player mistakes. On days they want to promote they can add to the jackpots and on days they don't want to promote they can take money from the jackpots, I'm pretty sure gaming allows that now as long as the money eventually goes into a jackpot.

Progressives with fast-enough meters, ones that increase business but do not hurt the casino's bottom line. Actually that would increase their bottom line. What am I missing? What are THEY missing? Isn't this concept taught when they attend Slot Manager School?
