You make some good points but I don't see a lot of comp hustling. I know many people who enjoy playing a hour or so at various casinos. In addition the costs of the comps is very small! Its a good deal for the gambler if they were to pay retail. For instance CET will comp a room they could not sell, and charge you the resort fee. Here is another example, my son is playing with me at a casino with FP VP and he complains after an hour that he lost $15, I saw that he had 6 drinks, so I said "you are killing the casino", he was drinking a premium liquor.However those drinks were only costing the casino $1 and he was paying part of the salary of the CW by tipping. There was a meeting last year in which the casinos executive were lamenting the comps that they were giving the Asian whales and their entourages! I wonder how the pioneers of this industry made any money when they more generous with comps and a skim was part of their costs.

The problem with low denomination machines is the comp hustling, not everyone can play video poker at computer perfect levels, but just about everyone knows they should try to extract as much from the casino as possible and keep asking until they get a yes. The "resort casinos" have too many "amenities" and can't win enough from the low denomination machines to cover costs. Low denomination machines are of course fine at the airport and other low overhead casinos.
