My analysis is the casinos make 2 classic mistakes. First of all they use a shotgun approach rather than a rifle approach. The should target the high stakes advantage gamblers! Sorry Bob. At paytables of .25 and less they will never get burnt because of the low jackpots, churn of novice and bad players and the lack advantages players working the machines, since it is not worth their time. They are also worshipers of higher percentages regardless of the size of the pie. The object is to grow the pie! Not shrink it.

Briefly, Krum's simplistic assumptions don't work for me. My explanation for the inventory/promotion tightenings we've witnessed is straightforward ....
Ten years ago, in any given casino, on a good promotion day it wasn't unusual to find the best banks dominated by reasonably strong "advantage" players (with hapless "ploppies" frustrated they couldn't get a seat). Casinos often witnessed plummeting holds on such banks, all the more troubling to them once promotion cost was factored. A rational mind would expect something to change.
"Advantage" play is far more challenging today, and it takes a more motivated player to be successful. Speaking for myself, I'm finding play a lot more satisfying these days.
