The link you yourself provided shows the slot hold at 9.3% not 8.8%. Penny slots (way over 2/3 of the machines) returned a grand 88.2%. More sickeningly 5 dollar slots returned a heart sinking 91.9% and $25 slots 88.2%-same as pennies. Go back and read all the reports in the year it has been open and tell me they aren't the worst payers in town-with dollar and up players getting hit the worst in comparison to other joints. For comparison purposes I will try to post later just the $5 returns versus the Taj and Showboat next door.
Among slot players the word has been out for months-they suck.
