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.

I cannot tell how much of your post is tongue-in-cheek, if any. Is there actually history of casinos taking AWAY from jackpots? I mean, when they don't have to, other than when a bank of machines is being taken off the floor? Something tells me you know what you're talking about.
But yes, more progressives is what all casinos need. I agree! To me it seems like a slam dunk. 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?
