Okay I see now that you have to scroll down to get the Revel figures. 8.8% is the correct figure.
What I look at is the 5 dollar machines because that is what we play on our increasingly rare visits to AC.
For May Revel had a 8.9% hold for $5 machines. Showboat had 7.4. Taj 7.6.
Worst slots-REVEL
April-10.6%, 5.4%, 6.0% respectively
Worst slots-REVEL
March-12.3%, 6.5%, 5.2%
Worst slots-REVEL
February-9.9%, 6.5%, 4.5%
Worst slots-REVEL
Starting to see a pattern? If you back to their opening month I think (and my memory could be faulty) there is only one or two months they were not the worst of the 3. Somebody must have hit megajackpots those months.
Averaging over the 4 months Revel had an average hold of 10.43%, Showboat 6.45% and Taj 5.82%.
89.5% $5 slots is shameless. Even Sheldon Adelson wouldn't do it. And you people think they are going to let you take an almost free roll at a $20K or $100K royal?
