RE: [vpFREE] Re: COLA?

Not knowing their books. I assume they may have salary savings among casino employees since technology TITO, less tables, more machines have eliminated many jobs. Their executives salaries are another question? In addition they have increased the comps for whales eg. comps for huge entourages with no limits. They have been selective in their cutbacks! They also don't pay a skim. So IMHO I question the COLA assumption.

Casinos are also increasing the comp and free play thresholds.

Casinos have been cutting back, from Joker poker to FPDW to 10/7 double bonus to 10/6 double double bonus to NSU to 9/6 jacks to 8/5 bonus poker to 15/9 NSU to 9/6 double double bonus to 9/5 jacks and so on.



The problem is the more they cutback the more they lose customers. Most video poker players today are nickel players and most slots are penny slots, though the newer ones tend to have minimum bets higher than a penny.



Progressives could be a solution but the casinos have to get over their current practice of punishing winners. With progressives, just like the lottery, somebody wins, that's what draws in the customers to wager real money. The problem is current casino management thinking is that nobody wins, so progressives, other than IGT progressives, are out.
