This is good news for video poker players as the casinos will have to offer more promotions in December to offset the loss of visitors the first two weeks of the month. If you were a local in the old days you looked forward to December because you had the whole town to yourself. No tourists or traffic. I used to imagine that December was like Las Vegas in the early sixties. A relaxing laid back place to be that was a special place to visit.
Maybe. The casinos make a lot of money from NFR. Without that money they will need to cut back other places. It's not at all guaranteed that losing that source of income automatically means they will start throwing money in our direction.
Generally speaking, when casinos are making money, they have bigger budgets to offer promotions with. When they are losing money (witness the recent recession) they tend to tighten up everywhere.
The fortunes of the casinos and the players are correlated more than you might think. There are players who think it is "us" (i.e. players) against "them" (i.e. casinos.) This is a very shortsighted view. Wishing bad things to happen to a group that you depend upon for your livelihood doesn't make sense to me.
